OneWorld Fax can be purchased with a preinstalled PowerPort Bronze II fax modem (which transfers data at speeds up to 2,400 bps and faxes at 9,600 bps) or a PowerPort Mercury fax modem (which transfers data at speeds up to 19,200 bps and faxes at 14,400 bps).

Offers premier fax options OneWorld Fax enables users to fax from their desktop as easily and transparently as printing from any application. They simply hold down the option key, choose fax from their File Menu, choose a destination and click on send.
