Thanks. I was just looking at that setup. It's close to what I need. My
faxes are generated by (gag, choke, wheeze) Act Contact manager. It will
"mail-merge" from a database sort and then fax out a custom fax to all
recipients. I don't think my wife wants to sit and enter >300 fax #'s by
hand!! I'm concidering using parts of that setup to make a "print-to-fax"
share and point Act to print it's fax's there. Probably a shell script to
get the fax number associated with the proper fax data file. Hmm. more
shell toys.
