No, Hugh say ISA. The "fax" thing is a useful program that lets you send faxes from your computer through an analog fax modem. It's basically a printer driver, in which the printer is located at the other end of your phone line - anyplace that you would send a regular fax. The resulting faxes come out perfectly clear and crisp, without the usual dots or stretched letters that result from a scanned document that goes through a standard fax machine. I do have reason to send faxes on a regular basis, and this is the way to go. Unfortunately, it gets more complicated and more expensive with digital modems.
