I actually had it running on the old site for awhile, but I think I was the only one who ever played with it. Might make a fun demo for next year's MRCG meet.

Assuming that the deal continues to completion, can anybody help me figure out how to find usable paper for it? Trying a google search for anything related to facsimile, fax, or electrostatic paper has so far just yielded lots of noise about thermal fax paper and toner-based electrostatic printing.
