Speaking of fax, I'm looking for a few sites to Beta test some Xenix Fax
Software. Warning, this is a commercial product, and not shareware.
It requires the purchase of a Quadram JTFax 96 fax card (about $800 or
$900 US list I believe). 

One example of how this works under a Unix environment is to allow messages
to be sent to fax machines from your favourite Unix mail program.

Anyone who would like to see what the end result is can send a brief message
to their fax machine by sending mail to:

     uunet!van-bc!fax!1-555-555-1234!your.name
                                     ^^^^^^^^^ replace with your name
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^           replace with your fax number

or
     1-555-555-1234!your.name@wimsey.bc.ca


Please don't send more than one page as I've put a filter in to chop it to
one page for these demo's. Also, I pick up my mail from UUNET at ungodly
hours so please make sure you leave your fax machine on overnight.
