"Their fax number becomes their print server URL."
I wonder if you could share the methodology of this with the group.
And in respect of the dedicated facsimile machines; I think the problem is twofold:
1. The machines already exist. Interfacing the existing machines to IP is economically
desirable.
2. Many non-IT folk like to hold bits of paper in their hands and feed it through themselves.
Allowing a computer to achieve the same result will only appeal to a small portion of the
community.
