Very few computer FAX platforms can send or receive colour FAXes. As of 
this week FS can, but the support should be treated as experimental at 
this stage.

It seems like colour FAX should be trivial, if you have error corrected 
FAX support, but it isn't. The developers of the colour FAX standard 
chose to use JPEG compression, but with a very unusual colour 
representation. This means you need to develop a messy bunch of code if 
you want the user to be able to work with conventional colour image 
files on their computers. It is this support which we are shaking out 
now. When its looking stable I will add the relevant information about 
controlling colour FAXes to the wiki pages.

Regards,
Steve
