I never fax anything, nor do I ever get any, but I tried reducing the color
down into 2 bit B&W and depending on the method used it either goes white or
becomes dithered.  Both showed my text okay.  If faxes can go to 16 or 256
grays these days (don't know) then even less a problem I'd think.

Only alternative would be to use lines as separators I suppose.
