I'm about to take the plunge and get AcraOS for my old ThinkPad T40. The only thing I use it for right now is connecting to an old fax/scanner (HP LJ 3100). I still want to use the fax machine going forward, but understand OS/2 will not have drivers. So I'm wondering if I ran a VM inside OS/2, is the parallel port support good enough to interface to the printer from the VM? If so, which one? I'll probably run NT 4.0 or 2000 in the VM.
I plan to use VirtualBox, unless people suggest a reason to use another VM. The fax/printer can only communicate over Parallel and only using its proprietary drivers, so TWAIN or more general purpose FAX products for OS/2 will not work.
