Fax boards and fax drivers installation
This section's aim is to help you install fax board drivers to fax through VSI-FAX.
VSI-FAX takes advantage of device-independent fax drivers to support a wide variety of fax solutions. The device-
independent fax drivers give you the flexibility to choose the appropriate fax hardware or software. The faxed output
will be the same high-quality image, regardless of the brand of the fax solution you choose.
The currently recommended fax boards are the Dialogic

Brooktrout
®
TR1034 and TruFax boards, and the
Dialogic® Diva Server fax boards . Refer to Recommended modems and fax boards in the VSI-FAX
Recommended Modems and Fax Boards documentation for a complete list of the supported boards. VSI-FAX also
