FW: Fax address book

I have written a win95/winNT program that sits around waiting for
a connection from your unix fax machine, and then pops up a
dialog asking who to send the fax to.
What makes this program special is that it uses WAB, or in other
words your IE3/4 address book, or if you have outlook 98 (dunno
abut 97) it will use that address book!
At last, you can have ONE BIG ADDRESS BOOK for all your contact info.
The effect of the input box is very similar to the To: line in an
OE email message (^K autocompletion works, and a button to let
you browse the address book directly)
It gives you a choice of fax numbers if your contact has more
than one, and also lets you direct a copy of your fax to a printer.
Anybody interested? You must be willing to freak around on the unix side to
make the supplied perl script work with your system.

[BTW it also uses the MS speech engine too, if you have it installed!]
