But thank you for your comments - it's always very hard to know what's happening in another country and can be very frustrating if trying to contact someone.

As a result of such differences, I can fax some but not all countries and can receive faxes from some but not all countries (the countries which I cannot send to are not exactly the same as the ones I cannot receive from). My fax is several years old so maybe newer standards have improved this situation (I don't know). However, it is very possible for someone to have a fax that works great in-country but does not always work internationally. Perhaps this is the case with the company you are trying to reach. One of the reasons I prefer EMAIL and on-line forms!!!
