This is funny. Bezeq already offers you a service to get your faxes
through email. I never understand why people consider a faxed document
as a proof for anything. The funniest thing is when they ask you to
print a document, sign it and fax the result back :-)

/me needs to add a SignatureFilter to his next T.38 fax gateway.
