XFAX is fax software for sending Group 3 faxes with the aid of Class 2-compat- ible fax modems. The maximum speed for sending faxes is 14.400 bps, however 9.600 bps is the most common. This depends on the other fax unit. The speed of computer to modem is 19.200 bps.

17.1 Modem drivers

Class 2 (proposed TIA/EIA 592) and Class 2.0 (TIA/EIA 592)

17.2 File formats

ASCII, HP Laserjet (PCL-4), Modified Huffman. Files are usually stored in Modified Huffman format since this is a very efficient way of compressing this type of data.

This depends to some extent on the operative system, but the whole system occu- pies between 2 Mb of memory after installation. When using the system the fol- lowing is added: One fax file with a normal page of data (A4) needs between 20 and 80 kb.
