Never had any problems. Used Delrina Fax Lite for several years, until
Symantec (?) dumped the Mac version and O/S updates made mine useless.

Currently use shareware ValueFax and find it excellent. Having set it
up, I never do anything until I want to send a fax. This operation is
just like printing - chose the print command plus your choice of hot key
and the document is 'printed' to the fax software and then faxed out -
no problems. However, it won't seem to handle postscript documents but
then I usually fax text.

Regards,
