Demon show links to the page http://www.tpc.int/faxbyemail.html that
explains how you can send faxes by email, writing to the address:

remote-printer.recipient_name@faxnumber.iddd.tpc.int

...as appropriate.  The body of the message arrives as text, with a
coverpage.  This much I already knew a couple of years ago, though when I
first tried sending a test fax to myself one afternoon, it didn't arrive
until 3am!

However, they also say that you can send formatted documents with fonts and
pictures, if you use 'suitably sophisticated email software'.

Such software is, for example, FaxMail-2.0 for Unix or XWindows, HQFax for
Windows, SDFax for the Mac.

Is there anything for RISCOS, does anyone know?  Or can anything we already 
have be configured to use TCP.INT?  (They say EudoraPro can, for example, be
configured to allow attachments to be included.)
