Michael,

the FAX is sent from a source telephone to a destination
telephone. Both identified by telephone numbers. The
reason the fax reaches YOU is that somebody is nice enough
to read the page and give it to you -0 or maybe you
have the machine dedicated on your desk. That's fine, too.

What's important as far as ease of use goes is that the
primary thing the sender needs to know to reach you is just
a telephone numer - and there are lots of ways to find that
out (though I note that white pages is of no help here because
people haven't begun listing their faxes in the white pages).

Vint Cerf
