Congratulations on your release of the new release and happy birthday.  It
is really good to finally have manual receive working.

Maybe I am missing something, but the naming convention for received faxes
doesn't appear to work as advertised.  The fax I just received was stored as
"2004-07-09_07.37.06.pdf".  I don't see the phone number.  Do I have to have
Caller ID for this to work?  Or does this come from the station ID as I have
always assumed?  In my case, the station ID is "                SONY".  Does
a non-numeric result negate this option?

I can live without the phone number, but I thought you should have this
feedback.  Is anyone else seeing this?
