Hi.

I like the idea, but the name is confusing. The name needs to say as 
much about the software in as few easily understood letters as 
possible. (IMO) Html2Phax fails. 

How about php:fax  ?
(the : could be interchanged with any of the other legal connectives)

It was inspired by the html2fax perl script that already is around some
time and written by Rick Morris. Of course the misspelling was done to
make a link to PHP ...

Anyone else having remarks about the name ?
(I never thought about this aspect ;-) )
