Dump Winfax -- Windows communications programs run under OS/2 are asking for 
trouble.  You may find that the Lite version of Faxworks that comes with Warp 
is sufficient for your needs.  It works fine to print faxes from Windows 
programs.
I've developed a report that ages my company's accounts receivable. Since I 
don't have Paradox Windows at work, I run it at home and fax the results back 
to the office.  It works.
