Exactly what I was gonna say... buggiest suite of software on the Mac...
with NeXT/OPENstep (send and receive, and it was full PostScript, nice for sending proofs)---wonder how much work it was to take it out?

I'd be really great if they'd make it a free upgrade for those of us who have purchased a new Mac that contains both FAXstf for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X preloaded...
:)
I use FAXstf all the time and it's never crashed or taken my Mac down once. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.......... knock on wood.
On a few occasions use of FAXstf didn't crash my Mac
Maybe they took the time to do a complete re-write. I heard they
used Cocoa which I also heard would mean a complete rewrite.
If they were smart they would ditch that proprietary fax file
format and use PDF. PDF's definition includes fax data format.
Last but not least, I really hope that it is included with OS X.
That would push it over the edge and make X a real tool instead
of a curiosity. Fax is the only legal correspondence available
short of printing something and sending it certified.
Our office cannot possibly use OS X without a fax solution.
