Of course, most of the printers that are on public networks belong to universities. and colleges. These are of course "safe spaces" which should never be violated with terrible wrongthink. What kind of a horrid person would trigger innocent people wrapped in a safe monoculture free of political dissent?

Christ, what an asshole.

He's definitely claimed credit. Doesn't specifically mention BU, but did target university/college printers.

a) How can free faxing be setup for sending text faxes direct from a keyboard of a computer?

b) How can faxes be received free on a computer?
