Given the importance of some incoming faxes (we, as a company, do 95% of
text communication via email, but important legal documents have to be
faxed, as fax has a clear legal status which email does not - yet - have
in English law); I do not underestimate the importance of being able to
receive faxes during that crucial moment when my server has a disk
failure. :-(

And it is a *very* good case... I think that even the VW research
department that makes the doors shut with a satisfying "clunk" would be
happy with it. (This reference probably only makes sense in Britain and
anywhere else that VW ran that particular TV ad).
