FAX transmission will soon be-- or already is-- cheaper than first
class US mail.  Business correspondence that hasn't already switched
to FAX for speedy transmission will probably soon switch because of
lower cost.

The drawback of FAX is poor quality because of low resolution, which
I believe is around 100 dpi.  Has anybody done legibility tests to
determine which fonts look best on FAX?  Lucida?  Is there software
to perform grid alignment so lines don't look as bad?
