Why does that matter?

I use 2talks fax to email service, you get a free 028 number with some
free mins each month, and the sender gets the privliage of paying to fax
you on the 028 number as punishment for using obsolete technologies.

Cheers, I've actually got a fax machine, and a couple weeks ago I dusted
off 2mm of dust and used to send a fax. Don't think it's been used for
over five years. Good to know it still works.

Cool, thanks for that info. Handy indeed to have a service that you can
use to send *out* faxes also - as that indeed might be required on rare
occasions.

Luxury ! When I told telecom a year or so ago to stop selling our phone
number as part of lists they supply to various companies, they offered to
disconnect my phone ! Yes, that was their complete response. :)

Just get a line with an unlisted phone number and don't tell Telescum that
you're using it for a fax machine. You don't have to "re-request" that
unlisted number at all - it stays that way until you tell them otherwise. Of
course, unlisted numbers aren't really fully secure since they are still
displayed on Caller ID phones anyway.

Sounds similar to the response I got from ihug / Vodafone. My Mac uses a
dial-up connection and it stopped authenticating the log-in (for about the
third time). After over a month of mucking me about, they finally said that
they wouldn't be fixing the problem, and to use the Internet I either had to
upgrade my computer or dial-in via a toll call to their Whangarei local
number where the authentication does still work properly. X-(
