Faxing from Mac OS X

Note: If you’re trying to send a fax from your Mac using FAXstf X, you may want
to make sure you have (at least) version 10.0.8 (upgrade
here). My iBook came with FAXstf X 10.0 installed .. and when you try to
send, it says something about adding phone numbers to send to in the Addresses
pane. But if you go to this pane in the print dialog, the only thing there is
any empty list box and a button that opens your Address Book. And when it does,
you still can’t add any numbers by dragging in people from your Address Book.
This is apparently fixed in 10.0.8. The silly thing is that the “easy” way is
the only way you can add any fax numbers to send to. Why not just a textbox
where you can enter in a phone number and add it to the list? Even when this
works, it means you have to add an entry to your address book to send a fax to
someplace you probably never send faxes to. Bah.
