Im trying a more long term solution to the problem. I've got ours set up
to turn them into PDFs and email them to me. I then print them out, attach
a form letter (modeled on the information on www.junkfaxes.org) and send
them to the FCC.  Im really hoping the FCC gets around to wacking them 
with a nice fine.
