The newsgroup "alt.fax" already exists; the reason put forth for
creating comp.dcom.fax has been to move alt.fax to the mainstream
hierarchy.  The traffic in question has already left TELECOM Digest.


[Moderator's Note: In the above three messages we have rebuttals to my
comment yesterday that a fax newsgroup is not needed. Since I printed
one point of view, I am including these opposing viewpoints.
Discussion about the establishment of new groups ordinarily should
take place in 'news.groups'.  Thanks.    PAT]
