  My "quick and dirty" solution to the problem was to sign it, scan it
and e-mail it as an attachment. I gave up and gave in when the ad
agencies still called and demanded that I *fax* them the signed orders.

  I even maintained an old fax machine with a HUGE ribbon (carbon paper
cartridge thingy) until this past November. It finally died. Now, it,
scan it and fax it (from the computer). The only difference in doing it
this way and as an e-mail attachment is that they're getting a much
lower resolution image that's produced by the same process through the
same scanner.

  Lower resolution. I think that's important to them for some reason...
