Me dittoum.  Only the modem part so far, though. :)

I concur.  A printer-like fax driver sounds like the most flexible way
to send faxes.  An NDA or INIT that watches for faxes and then prompts
if you want to receive it now and relinquish (hmm, that word looks
weird) control of your machine would be pretty cool too.  However,
there might be some pretty low ceilings around when it comes to
buffering the received fax, if you know what I mean...
