Fax would be a much better store-n-forward technology.. I hear there is
a lot of that coming on the horizon for international faxing... Voice
doesn't much matter, if it gets kinda funky, so what, you won't be
charged $.10/minute or whatever for the call, so...

LD data is a thing of the past, or at least should be in the US. With
an ISP on every corner these days its hard to find an exchange not
serviced by at least one ISP..

BTW - franklin telcom has a box that will do this now... I'm gonna check
it out, though it looks like its more for a PBX and a pretty-high-speed
network (I am unsure it does any compression at all)
