- Pro for the Mac at this point is basically a bundle package -- it
- comes with a stand-alone fax component -- just the Fax STF software. We're
- working to integrate it. As an example, the Windows version already is
- (Thanks to Delrina, who wrote software we could control completely) in that
- happy state, and you can add whatever features you want to faxing, automatic
- printing and forwarding of recived faxes as an example.

- Yes, but a lot of Macs won't (or PCs or NeXTs for that matter). One
- thing to consider is that if you've got appletalk turned on in the chooser
- your modem port takes a big performance hit.
