fax card vs fax modem
hi guys, 
long time no see.
i hope you are all keeping well.

just recently i find a lot of companies and services are quoting fax numbers again.
it's year and years since i faxed, or even had a modem.
now that i'm looking for one for my win 10 desktop, i see some as cards and some as modems.
is there a difference ?
what is the latest technology for these things and what features should i now be looking for ?

i used winfax pro then (still have the original disc).

any advice appreciated.

fax modems were developed decades ago. their design makes use of the fact that fax signals are merely audio tones sent along a normal telephone line, so re-designing a regular data modem to also be able to send faxes using the same phone capabilities was relatively simple.

these days you can buy a data modem either as an external box that connects to your computer via a port and cable, or as a card you can install in a pci or pcie slot. then you connect it to a phone line. becasue the addition of fax capabilites became so easy and commonplace, almost all data modems actually include that feature and are sold as fax modems. the drivers supplied with them allow your computer to use either type of service. many people do not install one of these because they have no intention of using a modem on a phone line - they prefer much faster data rates available by connections though the internet. so, unless they need fax abilities, nobody uses them anymore.

your interest seems to be mainly sending (and receiving?) faxes, and perhaps not even trying to use a data modem. current versions of windows make this really easy - you will not use your old winfax pro. windows includes all the tools you need to receive faxes in various ways, depending on whether you want your machine to always watch for incoming faxes, or only when you turn on the feature. for sending a fax it's even easier. windows always includes a system that makes a fax sending unit appear to be just another printer. you can "print" to that printer just as any other. when you do that, a window pops up to let you set a few parameters and then its sends the fax for you. it even includes a little utility to keep track of fax numbers that you can send to.

i used a fax modem infrequently on my last machine, and i really liked it. for one thing, the fax the recipient gets is really clean and readable, with no distortions or dirt specs caused by scanning. (actually, you can scan a document and then "print" it as a fax you send to someone.) but i used it rarely, and in my new machine there is no spare pci slot for the fax modem, so i never moved my old one to the new computer.
Do you have a laptop or desktop?


If its a desktop, do you have integrated (part of the motherboard) or discrete (card plugged into a slot in motherboard)  

networking controller?


Ususally Fedora (at least for the past several years) has had great support for ethernet controllers right 'out of the box'.


Have you used this particular machine with other operating systems and had the internet work correctly through through ethernet?


Did you create the Fedora bootable media yourself? Did you install Fedora yourself? Did you have the computer connected to the router through the ethernet cable while you did the install?


If you have a discrete networking card, you might need unusual drivers that the Fedora live media did not have.


If you did make the live media yourself, did you check the .iso file integrity before writing it?


Are other computers on the same network able to access the internet? Your card is ok. There is interference between the router and your computer.  

  

1. The router or the PC may be "hidden" behind a metal cabinet, refrigerator, etc.  

2. Move router higher  

3. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones (not cellphones) that use 2.4GHz will interfere with the 2.4GHz WiFi signal.  

4. Point the router antennas in-line with the direction of the PC.  

5. Move the router closer to the PC. well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. >

That depends on the configuration of your biometric device. left over pc running freenas.firmware and settings are on a usb stick, not the drive.lots of features/options you don't need, but does what you want simply and cheaply.    slightly more $$ in terms of electricity cost unless the leftover pc is a laptop, but zero $ outlay, and your data is portable and accessible. thanks for the info joe. as it happens i can confirm this; i was teaching on a workshop yesterday and one of the delegates was using a win10 high-res display (a retina display mac booted into win10) and we saw exactly that.

the work around we used was that pixel units seemed to work fine; text beca… Yes, there are KVM switches that support multiple monitors. do a search for multi-display KVM.


with regard to send print jobs to the printer, the best approach is probably going to be to buy a wireless printer and hook it up on your local network. You were unfortunately fooled by the marketing. The actual updated Lightroom is called Lightroom Classic. It is exactly like you remember with a develop panel, ability to print, etc and will behave and work like the Lightroom you are used to. What you likely installed is a port of the mobile operating system version of Lightroom to desktop operating systems. Adobe calls this Lightroom Desktop which is extremely confusing. What you want to do is to call adobe and transfer your subscription to Lig... [image] finco:

i’m not exactly sure what i should be looking for.

if there is still one that is connecting with the old version (2.7.2)

currently it seems like they are all with the new version. dear student,

each radio station is given a different frequency band and these
radio signals are sent at that particular frequency only
for example fm 93 5 or 94 3 etc are given radio frequencies given
in decimals only

if we see each radio station contains name like fm 93 5 or 94 3
etc
