It is interesting to compare this with an ad I just received in the mail
(in a Byte deck) for the
SEND FAX MODEM from PCA Corp.
Tustin CA
1 (714) 730-1121
My only connection with this company is that I read their ad.

The Send Fax claims the same capabilities.

The Send Fax claims to send at 9600 and to operate as an ordinary modem
at 2400 and 4800 bps. It includes software named FAXOFT (anyone know
about this?) It is an internal board modem for XT/AT/386.

The flyer says the Send Fax "list Price" is $399 but as a
"promo special" it is offered at $129 ($119 each if you get two).
MNP software is an option.
So with the Unifax you get to pay an extra $170 for a slower device,
but it does have a Xenix driver and I suspect there is only a DOS driver
for the Send Fax.
