Dear Erik P. Olsen,
| I wonder if somebody would offer an advice on which fax program I should
| choose? I need a program that would listen constantly to my fax modem and
react
| as soon as a fax comes in. It should be active even when a user is logged
off
| and any logged on user should be able to send a fax whithout having to
take the
| fax out of its listening mode.
Look up mgetty+sendfax... This is a modem utillity that allows PPP
connections; but, it can also be setup to send/receive FAXes and even Voice
messages (answering machine) for modems that support these options.
|
| If these features are available I am sure it will also have a phonebook, a
fax
| repository and more.
Sorry, this utility can be setup to handle the hardware, you have to setup a
shared printer to FAX outgoing. Incoming can be routed to a printer.. etc.
It is not simple to set all this up without work!
All this can be done though... I know that for certain.
Good Luck,
James Kosin
