The service provider data is _contact_ info. The FAX number is there in
case the roaming user needs to _send_ the ISP a FAX (perhaps a screen
print) to help out customer support in solving a problem. It's not there
so the user can send faxes from (or receive faxes at) that number.

That may be so. It's worth some thought, anyway.
