I still don't see why you need a dedicated connection to NHSnet and nothing else on it. Provided you have good security in place to
stop unauthorised access and virus attack then why not? What is the problem with incoming faxes? I know you can attach a virus to a
fax coming into a pc but Solomons should stop it executing.
