Can someone provide me with information about what kind of interfaces are in
use by FAX machines?  What signalling tones are used?  What encoding of the
page is transmitted?  Is any of this compatible with computer communication
equipment?  What would it take to make your average everyday Unix-style
computer behave as if it were a FAX machine (transmit and/or receive)?

Please send me a copy of your responses directly.  I am on Telecom but boy
am I ever behind in my reading!

Thanks.
