Yes, I was trying to send you a FAX. I don’t know if you have a machine that can pick it up. If you don’t, I’m interested to see what happens when you pick this up!

Vonage FAX?

TSgt Mark Hansen emailed the other day from halfway around the world:

Hi Chris, I saw your webpage about Vonage and am asking for your help. I am in the Air Force stationed in Korea, and all Vonage users here are banned from using Vonage equipment on the ISP’s network, who offers their own VoiP service.

Fast FAX Facts

I’m back on Windows XP now – and there are certainly things I miss about Vista already (DWM, in particular). Still, it’s nice to have access to all of my hardware and software services again. Mind you, Vista is still on this machine – on a different drive. I installed Launchy, and while it’s not perfect – it’s a near-perfect replacement for Vista’s Start Menu (at least, in terms of the way I used it). Copernic Desktop Search is back on my PC, although Outlook 2007 has already informed me that it needs Windows Desktop Search for full search functionality (oh god, please don’t make me use Windows Desktop Search again). I don’t think I’ll head into Vista again until I know that HP has updated its software for the LaserJet 3052 – and my “IP FAX” software is equally as important. Dunno. Seems FAX is taking a beating in Vista all the way around (and I’m not referring to the ghastly ‘FAX and Scan’ tool). Graham Neill just blasted me:
