	this software can never be public domain, because it requires
	custom hardware:  a pc card using the Rockwell facsimile modem
	chipset.  the software is not trivial, either...  a PC fax board
	and softwrae will cost anywhere from $400 to $1000...

	i have a fax board currently installed in my PC and it is handy.
	i'm doing some custom software work with it...  

	there are at least 20 vendors of PC-Fax boards and software.
	Panasonic (Panafax) and Brooktrout Technology (PC-Fax) come to
	mind immediately.  the Panafax is sold in many computer stores;
	Brooktrout is at 617 235 3026 if anyone wants details from them...
