I'm also looking for a recommendation for a decent
but not too rare or
expensive 56K dialup modem that's also fax-capable.
Any external 56K modem should work, right? You should be able to get one
for $20 or so.
I'm sure I can find a
reasonable MAC for a few dollars, but the real question with the MAC is
the
peripherals.
No doubt ;>) I don't know about availability where you are, but I get a
couple of calls from PC parts vendors every day, and I have not had one
call from a Mac vendor in 10 years. If I could find a reliable wholesaler
of Mac parts and peripherals I'd start doing Mac repairs.
I've noticed that there's software out there
for doing
long-distance jibberjabber between computers on the internet. If I equip
one
of these babies with that and send it to my S.O's
sister in Portland,
they can
yack without running up the long distance bills.
That's easily going to
pay
for an older MAC in a week or so.
Does anyone on this list know of anyone who has gotten "free long distance
telephone calls over the internet" software to work consistently?
