Great product - solves an old school problem

So in this day and age of internet and email why buy this product? everything is on the internet. For example, claims against a dentist must still be faxed to the payer. This USB fax dongle was literally "plug and play" on the hardware side. It integrates very well with the Windows 10 environment. There is no need to download or add any additional drivers. You can buy fancy fax software for your computer. If you do, it's probably easier to use than the free software that comes with Windows 10 and has more features. But since it already exists and my needs are simple, I've decided to delve into the rough edges of free software instead. I ended up having to tinker with the software a bit. It's not as intuitive as I'd like, but the freedom lowers my expectations. He handed over the documents. So I really can't complain. I was able to transfer some annuities to the military which would otherwise require a visit to a retail establishment such as Staples, Office Max etc to do so. The only improvement I would suggest is some sort of transfer status indicator. Either audible confirmation of a successful connection (old beeps) or the addition of an LED. The LED can stay on when going off-hook (when receiving a dial tone), flashing slowly while dialing and waiting for the connection; then blink rapidly after communication; and then turns off as soon as he hangs up again (he hangs up). Either of these two changes would be a big help for situational awareness. But the modem has no speaker. Therefore, all sounds must come from the laptop's speaker, and it's really a function of the Windows software, not the modem. , it displays updates during the connection process and displays additional messages at the bottom of the transfer window in the PC software. Conclusion: good price. Good performance. The main thing is that he does his job. I can recommend it without hesitation. I will definitely buy more if the need arises.
