GUIS: 714-590-0801, FAX: 714-590-1931 I've seen this machine at local Ken Gordon Productions PC shows. Must have been 2 or 3 shows ago that I first saw it. Have you actually used it ? My recollection is that it looked a little flimsy and "cheap". IMHO, the RS232 is its only possible redeeming feature. I've seen the Canon Faxphone 15 on sale in office product stores in the low $400's, and that's a much better built machine any day.
