I started with it in Claris Works. I only tried Simple Text when the CW
version crashed.

I certainly think so!

That's the first thing I did - it still wouldn't send, but crashed in a
different way (see original msg!)

I've now tried zapping the PRAM - no difference. I was about to reinstall
the system when I had a brainwave. I discovered that I can send this
particular fax to *any* other address, and I couldn't send *any* fax to
this address (which is in Equatorial Guinea, as it happens, but I think
that's irrelevant!). Aha! I thought - it's the address! So I deleted the
address and put in the same phone number under a different name - and found
that I could then send the fax! Weird. And I still don't know what was up
with the first address.
