Is OV/VM dead? If not, it's the closest available to PROFS.
OV/MVS was a hodgepodge of unrelated
When I was at PH Mining, we had OV/MVS for several years. We got it when
there were very few PCs in the company. Most people who had PCs, and did
emails or document writing on the mainframe didn't like OV/MVS. It was much
more cumbersome to use than a PC. When most people had PCs, we got

platform. So I was just curious as to how other shops are dealing with
faxing from the mainframe?
1. Revise procedures to do a file transfer rather than sending a fax.
2. Send an e-mail to a fax server.
The first is a better solution in the long run but the second takes less
time and effort

The last place I worked used MQ to get faxes from the mainframe to a
RightFax server. Worked pretty well... although every so often RightFax
would decide not to take a liking to certain messages/sizes and respond
a bit petulantly.

It is possible to get reliable e-mail-to-fax service. For example, you may
wish to set up a private IPSec SMTP tunnel between your mainframe and your
e-mail-to-fax service provider. Then you are connecting directly and over a
private link, and you can have reasonable confidence in the

Re: Faxing, I think I'd echo what everyone else says about e-mailing.
I'll not dispute the desirability of email over fax, but remember: you
have to give the customer what s/he wants.

We have been using a mainframe - fax solution for almost 20 years. It
was originally called FaxGate. (Not sure of the current name.)
Several years ago, we started emailing customers and distributors via

Wow, it's a small small world.
I used to attend lectures given by Ian Sharp, in the 1970's, at UWaterloo.
And, he was a Bridge partner of mine in thew mid-1980's.
Is he still around?
