Hello!

I know that some folks do not like internal cards for faxing, but the
modems I tried (MultiTech MT5634ZPX-PCI, external MultiTech MT5600BA, and
three US Robotics Courier V. Everything models (002806-00, 3CP3453, and
3453B)) have failed to work well on two Dell SBS 2003 servers and my
clone SBS 2003 SP1 server using either the on-board serial port or an
add-in Siig or Digi serial card, especially when trying to receive from a
Brother MFC 8300 and some other multi-function fax machines.

So, I am left with choosing an internal card that will work better than
an external modem.

I am looking at a Brooktrout TruFax 200 to use with SBS 2003's shared fax
service. The client is not ready for the big leagues and GFiFAXmaker.

Does anyone have experience with current models of the TruFax boards,
i.e., ones running the Microsoft patch
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919009/en-us and the Brooktrout FSP
update, or the RoHS units that only need the Microsoft patch?

I am looking at this board in particular:

TruFax 200 PCI-R MSF, 2 Channels Analog Loop Start, PCI, RoHS Compliant,
v.17 (14.4Kps), MH, MR
at http://www.cantata.com/products/shared_fax/specs.cfm

I also see another (WAY) more expensive one:
TR1034+P2-2L-R MSF, 2 Channels Analog Loop Start, PCI, RoHS Compliant,
v.34 (33.6Kps), MH, MR, MMR, ECM
http://www.cantata.com/products/shared_fax/specs.cfm

Other than their speeds, the only difference I see between the above
boards is the extra "MMR, ECM" at the end of the TR1034's description. I
am not sure if MMR or the ECM feature would help in fax reception vs. not
having MMR and ECM.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Gregg Hill
