Gee Fred i hate to say youre mistaken but....
While you can use normal terminal software with pk232 (I have used Telix for
years with mine). you do need other software to do WeFax mode on the screen.
The way the Pk works it only prints the fax direct to printer and then is 
fiddly
to set up. Thats why they shipped with PCPAKRAT and PKFax for PC.
Unfortunately i know of no atari s/ware.
Anyway sorry if Im number 123486540 to send a message like this.
