That's awesome, Tom.
Thanks, all, for the Win 7 enablement. By the way, I should have posted this earlier, but the $30 Win 7 deal is available to anyone with an .edu email account. Try this: [link]
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
AT&T Readying For the End of Analog Landlines
"AT&T, in response to a Notice of Inquiry released by the FCC to explore how to transition to a purely IP-based communications network, has declared that it's time to cut the cord. AT&T told the FCC that the death of landlines is a matter of when, not if, and asked that a firm deadline be set for pulling the plug. In the article, broadband internet and cellular access are considered to be available to everyone, though many Americans are still without decent internet access."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No! Don't take my landline!
What will fax machines do then? Do they work over VOIP?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, let me be clear! Broadband internet and cellular access is most certainly not available to everyone!
Although, in my case, landline is not available to me either, so...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, but fax does work over VOIP. I'm pretty sure that was my setup one of these configurations ago.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, my entire office is VOIP and our fax machines still work.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
one could also use a fax service like maxemail to send and receive faxes. I think K7 is free.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All of the faxes I need to send are of signed documents. Once I have them digitally I usually have the option (and I avail myself of it) to email it anyway.

Yeah, my entire office is VOIP and our fax machines still work.
So is ours, but all our faxes come to us electronically via email anyway, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, but even then you can scan into the computer and fax digitally from there. Assuming you can scan. That's how I fax right now, because I have the multifunction machine, but no longer have VOIP, and as mentioned, no land line. So I just convert the paper doc to digital, and then scan from there.
