Well mgetty does do faxes and emacs does do news.

I use mgetty for fax receive but I usually use a fax machine for fax send.

I don't use emacs but I remember playing with it and it did allow me
to read news.

What are you saying? These are not the best tools? What would you suggest?

By the way, you can also set up mgetty to act as an answering machine.
