This is not going to be technical at all...

I have got the impression that the reason for this is that FAX-standards
don't specify any way to address the recipient (person specific) other than
FAX-number (site specific).  Future Group 4 (?) standard should bring more
advanced addressing methods for us.  (When is this going to happen?)
