it was, initially. The deal was that you sponsor the faxing cost for
someone, and piggypack your own advertisements on said fax (like one of
your advertisements for every five pages you send, or something).

We also ran a TCP.INT node at some time, and know of another company
who did the same, but due to abuse, they had to stop, and when we
discovered that people were simply faxing junk at random numbers and
thus kept calling people out of their beds at night, we stopped running
the service, too.
