And a PDF or word processing file won't do for them through email? Almost seems a bit archaic to have to resort to fax on a land line modem, doesn't it?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just pick up an old fax machine?

For some reason, doctors and pharmacies live by FAX. You'd think that there would be a world-wide medical data-base, but something about privacy (read "insurance companies") keeps that from happening. There may be other outfits that live by FAX. There used to be a program for Windows that would let you send a FAX if you had a telephone modem. There may be one for LINUX. I don't know if you could receive on the computer. Probably nobody is still using a telephone modem.

While encrypted email would certainly fix the privacy issue, some people are still stuck in the past. Also some, like the vet I take my pets to, have stopped using email because of problems with viruses etc. Of course, the solution to that problem is Linux. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
