- Latest != greatest. The 4.13 version has a bug which screws up FAX receiving
- on the NeXT (but apparently not on PC's where they presumably test it). I got

- rather than through Craig Goss of B&W (author of NXFax) directly. Despite
- this, Craig was extremely helpful about getting me upgrade ROMs in short order
