Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

This is what I have been waiting for.  This will save me a lot of
money, hence make my new business venture more profitable
(translation: stop loosing money sooner).  

I will be sending many short (half page or so) faxes to a set of
clients, and the problem of how to get them all sent with a single
dial, provided that multiple jobs are queued up to a single number,
was one I have been thinking about, as it can make a big difference.
Off-hook, wait for dial-tone, dial, then connect, and hang-up and wait
for lock to clear -- all this stuff takes more time than to actually
send the half-page fax transmission.

So how big are those tulips we have to tip-toe thru?  :-)
