	The company I work for just held a joint conference locally
with Unitel and I was able to corner one of their reps to ask about
the use of Unitel's FacsRoute with modems. They say it will work
perfectly and don't mind in the least if you do it.

	For $9.99 a month (no installation fee!) you get a little
black box which goes between your modem/fax and the phone jack on the
wall.  When you make an outgoing LD call it dials in to a local Unitel
office and you are patched through to their network and your LD call
is completed by them. They claim savings of 40% over regular phone
rates. If you're making more than, say, $30 a month in LD calls to
Canada from within Canada (I think he said it offered discounts to
some US calls, not sure, call and ask) you really have nothing to lose
by giving it a try. I don't believe you are obligated to continue
using it if you ever find the service unsatisfactory.

	Drop a line here and let me know if you try it and how much
you save.
