Communicate! 10.0

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
