Some applications do not work properly with FaxMenu.  I suspect it is
those applications which look for, and trap, shift-option-control
modifiers when menus are selected.  Nisus is an example.

Easy solution: choose FaxPrint as the output device, and return it to
your other printer when done faxing.

I have not had any major problems with FaxSTF, and I am very
staqsified with it (and I've faxed quite a lot of stuff).
