Hi Tilghman

Sorry must have missed that. 

However I am still confused as to why the restriction to the zaptel cards
exists. I am really keen to get to this to work using the isdn cards (I have
successfully managed to receive faxes thru my isdn card so I don't see why I
shouldn't be able to send them). This is why I hinted for Steve Underwood to
put me on the right track so as to attempt to resolve the limitation myself.

I have also been thru the code and there doesn't seem to be any code that
relates specifically to the zaptel interfaces - it is merely software DSP
code and I therefore can't see a reason for the limitation to zaptel.

Thanks anyway
Jason

If you read the caveat for the TxFax and RxFax applications, you'll
note that they will only work with Zaptel devices.  Your ISDN card is
not a Zaptel device.
