   You can send any image on paper with a fax. For computer files, you can use
the fax modem as an ordinary modem to send files, hundreds of such software are
available.
   One good use for fax modem to send Chinese is to send Image Files, such as
TIFF or PCX. My old buddy Zhao4 San1-Ping2 told me that Xia4Li3Ba1Ren2(Byx/Lsp)
can now print into a TIFF or PCX file, specifically formated to fit fax
resolution. This way the result fax image will have the quality close to laser
printer output, with no quantization error. Information regarding this software
can be obtained at 1(201)-319-0310x118. If the girl answering the phone doesn't
know, ask for Zhao4 San1-Ping2.

   Be careful with this kind of software, it maybe pain-in-the-teeth to use.
