- Faximum is not "required" software. It's simply the only Unix package that
- Telebit has been able to adequately test, and therefore the only package
- that Telebit promises will work.
-
- Other packages that support the same command set (I don't have the number
- of the document at home) should work also. It's just that Telebit doesn't
- know at this point which ones will and which ones won't.
