- DFax is wonderful, and there will be an updated version fairly shortly which
- will be even better. It installs straightforwardly --- of all their pre-order
- customers I had the *most* trouble getting mine to work, and it turned out
- to be a problem with my new Supra ROMs (which was my fault,not Supra's) ---
- and works transparently for FAX in, FAX out, dial in, Dial out, etc.
- I'll be installing SLIP soon (use tip now) and expect things to still be
- great!
-
- Only thing is, a Supra is not "half" of the price of ZyXEL, more like a
- $50 difference, maybe even less if you shop carefully. Sounds like two
- good ways to get FAXing for the NeXT. Long die Neuron!
