Have you looked at http://www-usa.tpc.int/tpc_home.html ? (Global E-mail to FAX) In the UK, there's total coverage (paid for by the advert at the front of the fax, placed there by the ISP who runs the relay service there. In Australia there seems to be only partial coverage, presumably 'cos someone is paying phone charges, & not clued on to recouping costs through the free adverts yet. It could be that this worldwide email to fax project would appeal to othe FreeBSD people too, not only is it nice from a user perspective, but all the software is available on FreeBSD, & it'd probably appeal to numerous ISP people, as they'd get their adverts appearing all over the place on people's fax machines, not as junk faxes, but justified as local relay sponsor of the service. Sorry I had to post this to current, but hackers might not have worked, the 2 Perth area people I'm hoping might read & act (or pass on) this info. are on current@ but I'm not sure what other lists.
