What IS the difference between Digium fax driver and the FAX support in 
1.6? When should you use one, when the other? Do they have different use 
cases, or are they just competitors?

I'm using ReceiveFax() in 1.6, together with fax2mail, for all our 
incoming faxes. It works great. What's the use case for the Digium 
driver? Am I missing something by not using it?
