All business owners want their companies to be busy--but not too busy for important clients. If your clients are getting busy signals when they try to fax you via your computer's modem, you may want to check out the Futurefax 144, a computer and fax modem that works with your computer to accept faxes--even when your system is busy or shut off.
Incoming faxes are saved in the Futurefax 144 computer and can be accessed at your leisure by printing them or viewing and saving them through the Windows applications provided with purchase. Because the cigar box-sized Futurefax uses your PC's printer, it eliminates the need for a traditional fax machine and fax paper, saving valuable space in a small office.
The Futurefax 144 sends and receives faxes at 14,400 bps and requires 0.5MB of hard-drive space for installation. Suggested retail price: $299 for the model with 1MB RAM; $329 for the 4MB RAM model. Additional upgrades are also available.
