Is anyone else having trouble getting Bitfax to format correctly?  I can't seem
to get it to produce a single page fax from even a 25-line ASCII file, unless
I use the Letter Gothic (rather than the Bitstream Courier) typeface.

It also seems not to be able to handle a WP5.1 document particularly well,
despite its claims to the contrary.  It screws up columns, is unable to deal
with underlines or boldface, etc.  

Anyone know ways around these difficulties, or know of fax software that can
*truly* handle WP 5.1?
