Considering the speed at which Appleworks GS create a Printer File would
you really want to attach a fax to a GS.  Fax images are produced in a similar
way to a DOT MATRIX image with a special set of HI RESOLUTION fonts.  I wonder
if an GS with out speedup is up to producing the file for a 9600 Baud fax
modem.  I suppose the file could be created and then sent I know the GS is up
to high speed file transfers from the RAM DISK.

  The need was more for functionality than performance and as a way of
getting high-quality images without paying for an expensive FAX machine
(as high as FAX gets in quality - printer limited in this case of course).
