Yes, the third one would probably be the easiest and cheapest to
tackle.  If I owned PMPFax, I'd probably try to find the location to
patch to help out but unfortunately, I don't.  You could just try
scanning through the program for the text strings of the commands that
might have been used (&F, Z, etc.) and see if you can find any
promising locations to fiddle with.

Well, with an attitude like that you're certainly not going to get
PMPFax working.  :-)

Anyways, good luck with whatever work you do on it.
