Does this modem qualify as a fax modem?

0

I found this old PCI modem in my stash. I was thinking about using it to set up a fax modem on my PC. The only question is, does this qualify as a fax modem?

a

In other words, what signifies a fax modem?

Will in fact any 56K (V.90/V.92) modem qualify as a fax modem?

The chip label reads:

CONEXANT
RS56-PCI
R6793-12
E49786.1
0029 PHILIPPINES

Some additional info off the PCI plate:

HP P/N: 5184-4701
DC: 4037 REV: A
REORDER P/N: 5184-4701
SERIAL NUMBER: AZT006458

I tried installing this on Windows 7. It didn't bark. Drivers were missing. I know it works under Windows 98 SE (the original system) and most likely will work under Windows XP. I did try exporting the Windows XP drivers for this device (inf, sys, etc.) and using them for a manual driver install under Windows 7. Unfortunately it didn't work. So I will have to use it on Windows XP at least, or use it on a Linux machine.

Hardware IDs:

PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&SUBSYS_4055122D&REV_01
PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&SUBSYS_4055122D
PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&CC_078000
PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&CC_0780

As a quick Google search reveals¹, this most probably identifies as

PCI vendor ID: 127A, PCI device ID: 2013 ; data/fax
PCI vendor ID: 127A, PCI device ID: 2014 ; data/fax/voice
PCI vendor ID: 127A, PCI device ID: 2015 ; data/fax/voice/speakerphone

and therefore should qualify as a fax modem. The way I see it every modem should, but I'm not definitely sure about this.

You were right! This one does support fax, its ID corresponds to the one in the middle of your list. I couldn't get it to work under Windows 7 though. But it looks like it might just work under Linux, according to the page you linked. If I can get the drivers that is. This is a softmodem.
