Step back and calm down.  No one else has ever reported this.  AND Frank does
not HAVE a fax machine.  Are you sure you dialed the number that I announced
on the air?

As I said Frank HAS NO FAX.  This makes no sense to me at all.

No that is not the problem.  Do not send RVS.  I get HOMESAT, which runs 3
days ahead of R.v.s.

My problem is that ALL MAIL is being routed through SCOTT'S SYSTEM (and so
would the r.v.s feed if you sent me that, which would slow things down even
worse...  It is a problem with the map entry for lopez.  It is being fixed.



>Done.  I wonder if it will work.  C'est la guerre.


Please undo it.  That is not the problem.  That will only complicate the
problem.

Thanks

Now let's figure out what you dialed that had a fax on the other end.  It was
definately not the LOS ANGELES number.  If you were using an auto dialer,
were you dialing syracuse?  *HE* has a fax machine, and it is on the old air
phone line.

310 something or another.  That is LTRN.  No fax.  Trust me there is *NO*
fax.  You would have gotten call waiting and continual ringing if you had
been calling the L.A. number, that beeping you hear is from people calling
and not hanging up when I tell them to.

Something is seriously weird.

Calm down, solve problem.  it is not what you think.

There is call waiting on the line, there is no way call waiting can connect
to a fax.
