Limiting the size of the project would certainly help, but what is
required is the will and committment to make it happen.

In this case you will require input from all interested parties, and
suddenly the project is somewhat less constrained.

I suspect a good start would be for someone to establish a mailing list
for all interested people to discuss the issues of functionality,
address formats, billing, authentication, etc. I already run quite
a few lists, and although it's something a central group should be
doing, I have trouble keeping up with the maintenance of such things.

So would someone like to operate a network-FAX discussion list ?
