If I were going to use it, I'd setup a mutt_query script that notices numbers, converts them into international standard form, and then turns them into TPC-acceptable email addresses using my address book (e.g., 406-6766 => remote-printer.Dave_Cohen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). However, being that there are many holes in their coverage (including myself, for instance), I'd probably want to make it query http://www.tpc.int/verify.html before mapping it into ".iddd.tpc.int," and otherwise map it into ".sendfax.yourdomain.com" or whatever without converting the number into international standard form. (It's too bad they don't provide a DNS interface to checking coverage of a number.) HTH, - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right? Please visit this link: http://rotter.net/israel
