I have a old Practical Peripherals 33.6 Ext Voice Modem that was designed to be used as a answering machine and message and speaker phone. It actually sits on top of your monitor and has it's own speaker and microphone. I use this modem with Winfax 9.0 /Talkworks as my message center and it does a good job. However I am unable to achieve acceptable sound quality when talking on the speaker phone. If I try to use PC speakers ...modem microphone....while I am on the phone I get feedback....so I have Talkworks set up to only use the modem speaker and microphone. I can hear the other party OK but they have a very hard time hearing me. I suspect the modem....has anyone had any success with one of these ? m PCBUILD mailing list is brought to you by: The NOSPIN Group http://nospin.com - http://nospin.org
