[BC] Fax software

[Ron Cole]

Fax... Man I have not used one of those things in like 7 or 8 years.
I did not know people still used them.   I gusss next you will tell me you
need a replacment for a Telex machine....


Seriousley I think if I had to have a Fax maching I would look at something
with a Toner cartridge in it.  This is where a more expensive machine will
save big money in operating cost.
Inkjets are too expensive for any high volume options, I would not consider
anyhing inkjet for the office these days.
