- The only existing piece of faxmodem software that I am aware of is STraight
- Fax from Joppa Software (717)428-3231. It is capable of converting ASCII files
- along with any GDOS files. It doesn't do background faxing and it doesn't have
- a printer emulator. For occasional faxes it works great for both send and
- receive.
