Summary: Do Not Buy This Software
Review: I also purchased this software because it was a good price and it seemed to have all of the features I was looking for. However, when I installed in on my computer to use it, it never worked. I am now out the money I paid for the software because you can not return opened software. I believe if the software requires special equiptment it should be listed on the box so that other comsumers don't waste their money on something that won't work with thier hardware. DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE.

Summary: Worked with ME, not XP
Review: I used to use this software a good bit when I had WinME. The only real problem I had was with the answering machine. NO matter what I did, the recorded voice (mine, not the pre-recorded included) sounded as if it was speaking at half-speed.

I've now upgraded to WinXP and I can't get it to work. It installs fine, recognizes and initiates my modem, but it won't send out a fax, nor will it let me make any settings changes. It acts as if there is no phone line connected.

Also, good luck finding any support whatsoever. The original maker Communique, doesn't even list this product on their website.

Stay far, far away!

Summary: Poor Performance, no support
Review: I would love to be able to rate the actual usage of this product, however, since I found out after having purchased the product, that my modem (and in fact, a great deal of modems) is not supported by this product. I installed the product with no issues, however, when I try to run it, it locks up my computer and modem. The generic voice messages that come with the software don't include a generic, "Hello, No one is available to answer your call..." so you have to record your own. Problem is, when it plays back over the telephone, it sounds like it is slowed down to 1/2 speed and is scratchy.
The catch all answer to support questions posted on the manufacturers forum seems to be, "Your modem is not supported."
I attempted to get a refund, but was stymied by their policy which is same as the store policy, which is the same across the U.S. "Opened software can only be returned for a like exchange." ... I've attempted to find the modem compatibility list the manufacturer keeps raving about, but have been unable to. The lesson here is, find the product you might buy, check the manufacturer website and try and find the hardware/software compatibility list BEFORE you buy the product.
The product may work just fine with a supported modem, but given the general Canadian attitude and customer service I've received from Communique, I wouldn't buy another product of theirs.

Summary: Do Not Buy This Software
Review: If I could this product would receive -5 stars. While it seems to install without a hitch, in actuality that is because it doesn't recognize your equipment and will not work. The authorized modem list consists of less than 12 modems and only one of those is a PCI modem, needless to say not mine. SO! It never got up and running, and being opened software it can't be returned for a refund. Caveat emptor.

Summary: Ever hear the phrase: Good in theory, bad in practic?
Review: Once in a while, I come across with products with great values at great price. This is one of them. My friend recommended that to me last month and I can't believe all the features it has at this price. First of all, it recognised my modem automatically without any problem and I can send/receive faxes immediately after this.

Unfortunately, my modem has no voice features so I cannot enjoy the voice features of this product yet. Even treated as a fax-only software, it is still a great deal doing the same as Winfax does at $60 less.

Summary: Ever hear the phrase: Good in theory, bad in practic?
Review: This software epitomises this phrase. I bought this software for its voice capabilities, and loew and behold, it has bugs, and it does not fully support my modem. In fact, it only supports 3 modems PERIOD. I wish I had known this before I gought it. Oh well. Do not make the same mistake.

Summary: The worst software I've ever tried to use
Review: This software is a bargain at [its price], but you get what you pay for. Upon installation I found that there were several bugs that I had to call tech support about to fix. Once I was able to use the fax aspect of the software, I tried to get the speaker phone to work. I have a voice/fax/data modem, but the only response I could get was that maybe my modem wasn't really a voice modem. The fax software works ok, but is extremely slow. It takes about 15 minutes to send 3 pages. I wish I had never tried this software. This company is famous for the canned answer that the modem is not supported. Spend a little more money and get a better product.
