I hear this waaaay too much where I work! "We'll talk XML between applications". Let's get this straight. XML is not a communications protocol. XML is a document format language. HTML is not a communications protocol but a document formatting language. We'll talk with XML messages, what a load! HTTP over TCP/IP is a communications definition. Who is going to write the communications protocol to transfer these XML messages (ascii) back and forth over the wire and what is it going to look like?
Correct. You cannot cut costs on modems. There is a modem cost threshold though. If don't think twice about spending the dough for the modem in your hand, it's too cheap. If you think 3 times about it in the checkout line, it's too expensive. If you think about spending the $$ twice and can still afford to eat, you have the right modem and it'll prolly work fine.
Remember, the fax standards (last time I heard) was at 14.4. Most fax machines cannot connect faster than this. Having a rockin 56k modem will do you absolutely no good sending faxes faster. A good well supported 14.4 will do just fine.
Office97 bastardized the Postscript language. M$ Office97 produces incorrect Postscript in some instances. You obviously found them. Find another program to generate Postscript in Win as M$ doesn't follow the Postscript standards. You cannot expect other applications to break the language just because M$ does.

NO2 puffed into iSmell direct access tube placed into the mouth (for ingestable smells only).
The idea is that a little NO2 is made available during each blink of the blink tag....
...making that usless annoying tag a bit more tolerable. Well, at least more laughable!!
