Under United States law and Federal Communication Commission
regulations, it is illegal to send unsolicited transmissions to a
telephone facsimile device.  The relevant law is the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act of 1991.  I don't recall the exact fine and/or jail term
involved, but it's enough to make what you suggest a _very_ expensive
undertaking.

If you don't give me one good reason not to, in exactly one day I will
forward a copy of this message to the F.C.C.  I'm sure they will be
quite interested.
