Hello Wafflees and Wafflers and other wannabes:

I though I heard something a while ago about Waffle and FAX/modem
boards.  With todays 1.64 or soon (I hope :-)) to be released 1.65
Waffle, will someone have software to use Waffle as a FAX gateway
too?  14.4 K FAX/Modem boards are beginning to come out of the
woodwork. Some are even beginning to work.

     Gosh Batman! This might even change Waffle's new usenet home to:
          comp.dcom.waffle
          comp.dcom.fax.waffle
          alt.bbs.waffle.fax
          comp.bbs.waffle.fax  (my fav)
          comp.sys.waffle
          comp.communication.gotcha.on.this.one
          comp.waffle.does.all
          comp.waffle.one.stop.shopping

     and for those who compartmentalize:
          comp.waffle
          comp.waffle.addons
          comp.waffle.bbs
          comp.waffle.fax
          comp.waffle.uucp
          comp.waffle.usenet

To me, a FAX gateway not only allows outbound traffic for queuing
with your favorite desktop/word processor but includes OCR, incomming
routing and other often wishlist items.

Am I asking for too much?  Maybe for today, maybe for tomorrow, but
not for this decade.
