DosFax Lite is one of my favorite DOS fax programs. The only problem
with it is that nowadays you can't install it even from an original,
never used, installation disk. During the installation process the
program prompts the user to dial some now non-working number at Delrina
to register his copy. Until it is registered, you can't use it. If
after several attempts you have a problem dialing the non-working number,
then you will be presented with a message suggesting that you call another
non-working number to request a key from a voice operator. Of course
you won't be able to get through to either of these non-working numbers.
The only way I have found to install DosFax Lite is to copy to your
computer all the files from a working installation on another machine.
Then you modify the setup on your machine accordingly. Resorting to
this procedure does not constitute software piracy, IMHO, because the
copyright holders refuse to continue to support this product.
I would gladly send to anyone my key, if but only I could find where it
is embedded and encrypted, and if I could successfully hack it.
If anyone knows how to hack DosFax Lite, please let me know.
