Hi,
	Like many university campuses, we find ourselves in the situation
where we want to integrate FAX sending with our existing SMTP infrastructure,
ie. use mail addresses of the form <phone-number>@fax.<domain> and mail text
files to the fax gateway.  This scheme allows us to either send mail directly
to the fax gateway or via a list server, just like any regular mail.  The
real problem is finding a supported commercial FAX package that can receive
SMTP mail and deal with phone numbers embedded in addresses.  If anyone knows
about such a product for NeXT's or PC's please let me know at the
address given below....
