<p>Yes, they are still made, but you have to be careful when buying them. You need to make sure that they are hardware modems, or if they are not, at least make sure that its a modem shell that will work on a non-Windows system and without a binary only driver that demands you run a particular version of the Linux kernel.</p>
<p>in all probability, you'll want to see if anyone has a faxmodem that they don't use anymore that they know is a real hardware modem.</p>
<p>Another option would be to use an fxs/fxo board, a phone line, asterisk, and iaxmodem, but I have a feeling that would be overengineering it. ;)</p>

This is a FC 11 (soon to be FC12) box. What do I need to send/receive<br>
faxes? Hardware? Software?<br>

Are fax-modems stlll made? I haven't owned one in probably 15 years.<br>
