-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- hi:

I thought I heard somewhere that it was illegal to send anonymous faxes -- namely, that there was some regulation that you had to program your FAX machine with your phone number so it would get sent automagically whenever you faxed anything. Essentially it was ILLEGAL to fax without providing the recipient with a mechanism to find out where it came from. Of course, I suspect enforcement is lax, but still... :-) :-(

Can someone please confirm this, or help with a reference? Private e-mail is fine...

according to the manual I received with my copy of WinFax Lite (p. 2-10), "recently passed US legislation" requires date, time, ID of entity, and tel # of sender. unfortunately, it doesn't say WHAT that legislation might be! the copyright on the manual is June 1993. rj -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCVAgUBLcqqITaPaZsSlprpAQEQ/AQArQ30Lf44sWmUPvBtM4SYznTl9cE6nevQ ZZWaBPGgJDwz6lYJo+82VsTatXa7IRyOBjp8BVaNuOIKl4/FA7MzmztwluMrfJvZ sdwdNYfpLr3nVnVKbGqQUWT7jmt6+472iUASo4oAQGfPz1ekipi+QpTJ/fJoTEjj SRtEUYLBrwQ= =DZhw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------- R.
