     For, you, and others in this conference, I post the following. I

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For our friends in Canada that have been asking me about shipping
the FAXCAP unit to Canada, Well there does not seem to be a problem.
I talked to the man at the post office when I was sending some units
out and he told me there is no problem sending the package their. In
fact as far as the postage it's only pennies more so the same postage
will suffice. The orginal price for the completed FAXCAP is $29.95 +
$2.00 shipping this will be also the price to Canada. The FAXCAP kit
price is $19.50 it does include shipping.

The FAXCAP unit for those who just now are reading this for the first
time is a Fax demodulator build to receive weather fax and press
pictures, CW etc. The unit is build into a Metalized DB25 connector.
this is to prevent RFI/EMI from your computer interfearing with the fax.
The FAXCAP also has protection build in to protect your computer system
in case of the Fax unit malfunctioning from a shorted component wich
some of the other units will not do. The power for the FAXCAP is taking
from the serial port of your computer, so no external supply is needed.
With a price of $29.95 + $2.00 shipping or the Kit for $19.50 including
shipping, this is the lowest price unit available today, That price also
includes a disk with 3 of the better known programs on it to receive
the faxes (Share and Freeware). All you need to do this is own a HF
shortwave receiver that will cover the frequency range 1-30Mhz and have
SSB. The FAXCAP has a shielded audio cable that plugs into the external
speaker output on your receiver, then setup the software and away you go.
So if interested send payment in the form of a postal money order or
cahsiers check, I will also take personal checks, but they must clear
before unit is shipped to:

      This person (W. Nolle) is retired, and not making much from this,
as far as I can tell, just something to spread the word among hams. He
says he has gotten a good # of orders. I should be getting kit version
soon, and my brother's Dx-440 is on a bus to me, so I'll try to post a
message after I (Hopefully) get it working. JVFAX and HAMCOMM are two of
the programs he includes, I think.
