As  promised  in an earlier post, today I called Total Systems 
Software to check on the status of the long-overdue DFax software, 
which is supposed to provide Send/Receive capabilities for NeXTs using
Supra v32 and v32bis data/Fax modems (as well as support features like 
"silent answer" and eventually voicemail).  

I got the famous "emily@tss.com" on the line, and after identifying 
myself and my mission she said, "Well, don't drop dead or anything..."
("Uh oh, here it comes," I thought, "they've gone belly up") "we're 
shipping."  

"You're what?"

"We're shipping.  The discs are here and when I leave this afternoon 
I'll be dropping a load off to go out. We expect to have all of the 
original orders out in the next 3 days." 

After all this time it was more than I could handle in a single sitting.
I asked her repeatedly if she was sure and she said up, down and sideways 
that she was (I then had her recheck my address and phone # just so some-
other poltergeist can't get in the way).  So..... I'm going to be camping
by the old mailbox for the next few days.  Will post a review of the soft-
ware once it arrives, by Emily says it does everything that was promised, 
(which means it's dynamite!) and all of the testers thus far have loved it.

Can it be that sometimes things do work out?

Hope this cheers up a few people out there  ---- tom
