Err, ok, but Linux programmers know that they can't guarantee time
critical stuff and don't try to implement something (bad). :-)

That's the main reason I won't go and buy a real fax machine. Most
faxes that I receive are fine on a hard disk but really a waste of
ink and paper if printed. Unfortunately I have to print some of them

When I set up the new machine I plan to do a complete rewrite. If so
I'll including that into Debian GNU/Linux.
