In researching a solution to one of our needs, I have found that
Faxen for our systems, (SunSparc), tend to be VERY 'spensive.

It occurs to me that a FAX with a serial port on it, and a simple
protocol to dial and dump a file, &c. would be a very useful tool.

Does such a beast exist?  If not, is there simple/good/usable softs
to do this kind of thing on a PC or a MAC?  Ie: a PC/MAC with a FAX
board and a rs232 port, grab the file from the port and send it via
FAX?

Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  /rr
