I don't want to switch to Windows. Linux Hylafax does the job very well for me 
and fulfils all my business needs except color faxing.

Brother is the most common fax machine brand in NZ.

Across their whole range 28% of machines support color.

In their laser range this number increases to 33% support.

I personally think the little response has more to do with the expected 'free' 
nature of Open Source Software.

I am said that I am willing to chip in financially but I can't wear the whole 
amount.
