Vista - Recommended fax modem

I want to use my computer, running 64-bit Ultimate, to send and receive faxes. I've looked at many (too many) post in this forum trying to decipher a preferred modem to purchase for this task. The best I can gather from the posts are to make certain the modem in on the Vista Hardware Compatibility List (always a good idea).

If I look at Network Modems in HCL, the best I see are multiple products that "Works with Windows Vista", but are not Certified.

So here are my questions:

1. What fax modems are you using? And would you recommend this modem?
2. Any issues with your modem working in a Vista environment?

Any help is appreciated!

If this is an important installation then the following lab report may

Avoid all 'software' modems and if you are on a tight budget then buy
yourself something based on the Agere Venus chipset.... it isn't perfect
but with some effort you'll get a reasonable solution.

Thanks for the information Andrew! Go Beavs!

I'll look into the Agere Venus solutions.

Anyone else?
