I have no idea how Fax machines work, but the one in our office sure sounds like a modem to me. I don't know what the protocol is, but wouldn't it be great if those things used a standard that was documented somewhere? And then we could write great programs so your mail UA could talk to a fax machine somwhere instead of your typical MTA. Dan Heller <island!argv@sun.com> --- end of original article Sounds like a good idea, I know some discussion of this has already gone on in alt.fax. Anyone care to describe their current ad-hoc solution? --Ed [followups to alt.fax]
