Point taken, and your statements are duly noted.  By all means, you may 
be completely right.  But you would be the first person that I've come 
across in ten years of HylaFAX-ing who wanted to use the "DATA" function 
to employ server-side configurable-typed document conversion.  There 
have been those who wanted document conversion done server-side, but as 
far as I'm aware they were all eventually satisfied by existing 
mechanisms with the exceptions of PDF and PCL support which were added 
to HylaFAX by user contribution.

So I invite you to do the same.  You've expressed a desire for a new 
feature.  Now you're invited to follow-up that desire with some code 
work or to go an hire someone to do it for you.  The rest of the user 
base isn't going to be motivated on this because it's working just fine 
for them as it is now in the "seriously flawed approach".

Thanks,

Lee.
