Maybe. But as soon as you have to interact with non-US companies or administrations, you'll have to revert to fax, because in their legislations, that's the only legally binding document in addition to real letters. > IMHO...Faxing is so last century. Yes, but that's the way the world is. Not everyone has transitioned to authenticated e-mails. Most legal systems didn't, for some very good security reasons. At least, I'm relieved that we don't have to fall back to an even older technology than fax: telex (anyone remember that?) -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
