I've been flipping through the latest computer shopper and found myself lusting
over the 9600b send&Recieve Fax/Modems priced between $150-200.  Alas, 
doing the same flip through Amiga world informs me that all I can add to
my Amiga is a 4800b Send Fax only modem for somewhere around $200.  
Not being a techie, I would think that all that is preventing me from
hooking up one of the generic send&recieve fax modems is the lack of
a software interface to run the fax side of things.  Faxing from a computer
has been around for quite a while now in MS-Dos world, and I think I saw
an ad in Mac World for a send&recieve fax modem for that side of computing 
as well.  Wha?  Can it be so hard to write this piece of software
for iga?  So may people busy themselves writing term programs, 
one would think that someone could devote a little energy into writing
a fax interface program, however crude.  Maybe someones heard of something
out in the PD or Shareware?  With the Amiga's graphics, we could sure
put out some pretty neat faxes...
