I can't let Earl's comments below go unchallenged! if you don't want junk fax, turn off the machine or get an unlisted number. or... buy a PC-fax board. your faxes will simply be buffered on your hard disk. you can preview them and only print those you give a hoot about. no cost to you except that your phone line is tied up. i'd be more worried about people sending infinite fax garbage files than the random fax-advertisements that arrive... [by the way, i confess to being one of the originators of junk fax. i faxed a strange photo from a fishing journal to hundreds of advertisers in Byte magazine. it helped to debug the software!] ----------------------------------------------- cck@deneb.ucdavis.edu (Earl H.
