Correct setting for display on a TV, Issuses with a winmodem, Citrix

[Lee Einer]

Hi, Rob-

With reference to your Winmodem issue-  I have a 33,600 Zoom faxmodem 
which should work with any OS and which has both class 1 and class 2 fax 
capability. If it will help get you up and running, you are welcome to 
it, gratis.
