My lockups occur way before any data is even attempted to be sent to the
server.
While trying to diagnose this problem, I have been attempting to send data
without graphics from MS Word.

90% of the time anymore, WHFC locks up on me before I can even get a chance
to hit the phonebook button to lookup a number.

The other 10% of the time WHFC locks up either when I do press the phonebook
button, or when I come out of the phonebook.  Sometimes one or both windows
just disappear, and the graphics in the background do not get updated until
I CTRL-ALT-DEL and end the task.

If it doesn't lockup right away after the window pops up, I can make it lockup
by grabbing WHFC's main title bar and move it around on the desktop.

After WHFC locks up, a scan of my Windows directory on the PC reveals three
files that were created - ~fax0000.ps, ~fax0001.ps, and fax.prn.  Fax.prn
is my printer output spool file.  All have an identical size.
