Well, I did find Okifax, Ricoh and Konica "say" they have it based on
the web stuff. Don't have a clue whether they have delivered or even
if it works.

Can't offer any clue on the above either. Based on Steve Underwood's
comments earlier (relative to outbound fax now fails on the TDM when
it was working earlier), it would almost sound like a timing issue of
some sort that is associated with calls initiated within *.
