No, it just wasn't finished in time for the NT4.0 release.

Check out www.microsoft.com look under products -> Windows NT
Workstation & you will find a free download of the Fax program (it
works under NT Server too BTW). There are some limitations, you need
SP2 applied & it only supports Class 1 Fax modems, there is a list of
supported ones including all the US Robotics range, although
unfortunately not my Multitech.

There has never been a Communist government in France. Since the war
for the majority of the time as now France has been ruled by a
right-wing government. Just goes to show that there is little to
choose between the left & the right when it comes to wanting to
control what their citizens do!
