Cliff,

Thanks for taking the time to offer help, I apologize for not seeing
your note a long time ago.  Unfortunately, there are many of our clients
that prefer fax transmissions over e-mail.  The only reason that for
this that makes any sense is that a successful fax transmission or an
incomplete fax transmission can be processed with a log entry so that
there is proof of a successful fax.  

Obviously this can be done via a return receipt in e-mail but the
receiver of the e-mail may not elect to do a return receipt which means
a log entry of receipt is not 100%.  

Also, there are just still a bunch of clients that communicate via fax
and not e-mail, as much as I would prefer e-mail.

Greg, I haven't sent a fax in ages, so my suggestion would be to take a
step back and see if you still need to use fax. You may still have a need
for it, but I'm just suggesting that you think about it!

Cheers,

Cliff
