Mike, I know of at least two companies that used this software to deliver faxes via e-mail to national and international networks of users. It was not a single PC receiving faxes into an inbox, it was incoming faxes distributed to one or more e-mail addresses where the e-mail was read nationally or internationally. I believe there were installations with more than 1 incoming fax modem, but that's a factual issue that would have to be checked with the folks who managed the installations. On a separate note, Apple also had a fax modem circa 1990. I built a broadcast fax system that took a SCO box and a bank of serial ports and did customized cover pages and content from MS Word doc e-mail to an address (does anyone remember UUCP) and faxed to a list of people. I can't for the life of me remember if I had incoming support on the system as well. But this should cover the issues relating to e-mail to an address for faxing. Remember also that you cannot patent the automation of a manual process. That means that if I can do something by hand, you cannot get a patent on merely having a machine follow the same steps. This was one of the ways that a patent of real-time trading from a spreadsheet was knocked out in Canada.
