[BC] Fax software

[Jeff Allen]

I'm am amazed at how many still even use the old phone lines.  I have no
phone line at home except a cell phone and cable modem.   It's sweet to pay
the same amount for both each month instead of the rollercoaster Qwest bill
I used to have.  About a dozen times they put charges from other people on
my phone bill, then they wondered why I was not happy with the service and
canceled.  Uhm...because I can.  They actually seem to think we all still
need them.  Good luck with that.
