Not one of those Winmidems or HSP modems. It it supports at least class 1 faxing then any listed on their site will do. I have never had any problems apart from the occasional jamming of the modem. That is why I prefer the external. You can see when it's jammed ans reset it. Unfortunately I do not have any one of the two you listed. If I were you I would opt for the external USB and give it a try. If it does not work just bring it back. I do not think it would be the case.

Till now I had an extern, serial modem and everything worked perfectly. But this extern, serial modem needs an extra power supply and that is very inconvenient. I'm planning to replace the extern, serial modem with an internal or USB modem, in any case without the need of extra power supply. I already tried several modems from various computer shops, but all of them didn't work somehow. Surfing the net about this issue, I found that HylaFax recommends Multitech modems.
