	Faxing is easy, and pretty common place these days.  It's a 
combination of two things - a communications protocol (actually two 
of them - one for phone lines/serial comm, and one for TCP/IP 
Internet) for transferring commands and "bits", and then a file 
format (CCITT g4) for the image ("bits") to go across the lines.

	There are a LOT of them for Windows - do a search on 
<http://www.winfiles.com> or elsewhere.  Some for Unix/Linux have 
already been mentioned.
