    'course, Fax was built-i

    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?

    Wishful thinking.

    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...

    Must be lucky

    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.

    Hopefully a Rewrite

    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.
