It's a FAX machine. That might be it; an old number now hooked up to a FAX line, which many companies have, and I'd bet many companies have 800 faxes for their branches, subsidiaries, franchises, etc...... Try going to your local copier (by copier I mean people who make photocopies, etc. in bulk) or printer... a lot of them have FAX services, but it's expensive (sometimes $2 per page).... but if you really want to get a hold of them, you could try FAXing them a letter from the local copier... (at the number you listed above, of course)
