+:!: The windows software does not install a fax printer device.
+Once installed, run the ''Virtual Network Fax'' app and enter your vFax account credentials.

+===== Blacklist =====
+Often, a **large percentage of incoming faxes are junk** and they keep coming from the same senders.  Vacations, Roofing, etc. etc.
+To keep your monthly vFax costs as low as possible and to keep junk faxes out of your Inbox, it is desirable to **blacklist junk fax senders** so they can't send to you again..
+**We will do the blacklisting for you**.  All we need from you are the fax phone numbers of the fax spammers.
+Perhaps the easiest thing for any of your users to do is to simply **forward junk faxes to support@sonoracomm.com** (with the junk fax attachment).
