On a lossy network with a lot of packet retransmits, I admit that we'd be
beating a dead horse here. But I can guarantee, as can most/many who have
Ascend boxes laying around, that the MAX would be on the same carefully
partitioned subnet as the HylaFAX box.

I'm very interested in adding this functionality to HylaFAX, and I know
Ascends already have some hooks for it and are developing others. I might
even be able to pay some willing code-warrior to develop it, and then fold
it back into HylaFAX. Anyone interested?
