That would be easy - Lucent already has the Fax code for the chips.

Yeah.
Also things like sharing the channels (ct1/pri) and/or serial ports on
Portmasters across a LAN or WAN to Windows and Unix machines (such as
in.pmd does for a few Unix platforms)! Livingston says that 95% or
whatever percent of their U.S. market are ISPs.. of course.. because what
they make doesn't do jack for non-ISP's wanting things like dialout for
workstations on the lan :) Also running a PM2 or PM3 as a fax server for
example..
I think the market for things like this is worth looking into for
Livingston.
