G'Day, Bob,

I'll add my vote for the necessity of being able to get wefax broadcasts while cruising. All of the "pro" comments above are worth considering. Getting the morning MSL is a regular part of our early AM life on Insatiable II, and I would feel quite vulnerable without it.

There is also a free download wefax program available, one that we have used for years. It is called "JVcomm32", and performs very well indeed. Try a search on that name, and you will find the website for the download. Then all you need is a simple patch cord that runs between the audio output on your receiver and the "line in" or "microphone" input on your laptop.

Good luck with it...

Cheers,
