I don't see why such a device should cost much more than existing fax equipment [with some caveats]. I think that asking anybody who already has a computer and a modem to invest more money in a new machine for email is not a good idea. We need a dial-up email standard that anybody who already has PC and modem can use by simply loading some software. It's good if the fax machine makers become compatible with this standard; it's not good for this standard to be incompatible with existing PCs and modems. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: oliveb!cirrusl!dhesi
