- Some applications do not work properly with FaxMenu. I suspect it is
- those applications which look for, and trap, shift-option-control
- modifiers when menus are selected. Nisus is an example.
-
- Easy solution: choose FaxPrint as the output device, and return it to
- your other printer when done faxing.
-
- I have not had any major problems with FaxSTF, and I am very
- staqsified with it (and I've faxed quite a lot of stuff).
