DFax is wonderful, and there will be an updated version fairly shortly which
will be even better.  It installs straightforwardly --- of all their pre-order
customers I had the *most* trouble getting mine to work, and it turned out
to be a problem with my new Supra ROMs (which was my fault,not Supra's) ---
and works transparently for FAX in, FAX out, dial in, Dial out, etc.
I'll be installing SLIP soon (use tip now) and expect things to still be
great!  

Only thing is, a Supra is not "half" of the price of ZyXEL, more like a 
$50 difference, maybe even less if you shop carefully.  Sounds like two
good ways to get FAXing for the NeXT.  Long die Neuron!
