Warp Bonus Pak - FaxWorks Auto Receive Workaround

There is apparently a bug in the FaxWorks application shipped with the
Warp Bonus Pak. The documentation states that FaxWorks can be started
in auto receive mode by specifying -r as an argument. My copy of FaxWorks
for OS/2 included in the Bonus Pak does not work in this manner.

I use my computer as a fax machine so if the power goes out while I am
away, I want my fax receive capabilities restored automatically when the
power comes back.

Any way, as a workaround for this problem I placed FaxWorks for OS/2 in
my system Startup folder so that FaxWorks is automatically started when
OS/2 loads. I then placed the included AUTOREC.EXE file in my system
Startup folder. Now OS/2 loads FaxWorks first then my little AUTOREC.EXE
and I'm ready to receive faxes.

Make sure that the AUTOREC.EXE file loads after FaxWorks.

The AUTOREC.EXE file was created with Watcom's VX-REXX and therefore
requires the VXREXX runtime DLL (which must be accessible in the PATH
statement.

The AUTOREC.EXE file simply sends keystrokes to FaxWorks (Alt F R A)
to enable auto receive.
