I don't know what you mean by "real soon now".  I used this "feature"
over a year ago so I know it exists now.

Another alternative is a Postscript->G3FAX software/fax board from
a company called GammaLink.  I don't have the address handy but I
can get it from home if you need it.  Seems to to a real nice job.

Another alternative that is in the "real soon now" category would be
to run Wordperfect for Windows (this is the "real soon now" part) using
a driver called FaxIt! from Alien Computing.  It can handle several
different fax boards.  Address and contacts are the same, don't have
em handy, but, can bring 'em from home.

I must say that computer generated FAX output (as opposed to scanned
FAX input then output) can be quite impressive in quality, even though
you only have 200dpi.
