The Norfolk Dialect

[Thomas M. Paikeday]

I'm curious to know if the garbling of the message below (it looks like
babel) has anything to do with the Norfolk dialect or perhaps Sprint Canada
to which I recently switched from Bell Sympatico. Off topic, speaking of
Sprint, I have just discovered that my old Sanyo fax machine (SFX-25) cannot
receive faxes automatically any more because, as Sanyo technical support
writes, "the distinctive ring pattern provided by Sprint is not compatible
with this machine." Bell had no problem coping though. Before I get another
fax machine or go back to Bell, can anyone help with a better answer? Many
thanks.
