[gui-talk] this fax thing

[Joel Deutsch]

Sherry,

That's wonderful. But I have no idea from what you say what sort of 
equipment you use for faxing. Do you mean you simply have a real fax machine 
that's plugged into the phone line properly so as not to interfere with your 
computer Internet connection? Or do you mean you have some setup that makes 
use of a scanner and an OCR program like Open Book and its fax function? Or 
what? Please. Thank you.

I have DSL and filters and my fax works fine.
