We pretty much do just that but with Printers that check a POP3 or iMAP mailbox then automatically print what's in the mailbox with attachment, works swimmingly with Fax to e-mail as well.-

It’s difficult to intercept except at the endpoints, interception between the endpoints takes a lot of specialised knowledge, and no endpoint is a honeypot. The medium is not inherently copyable. Interception at the endpoint takes a significant amount of time and requires the physical presence of an attacker. Any attacker would be able to access relatively few records. Access would be expensive and slow with very high risk of discovery (unless the attacker was on staff in which case all communication methods would be equally compromised), while for the legitimate user the rate of access is easily sufficient. So fax is actually not a bad means of transferring private data as long as the fax machines are not located in public spaces." Internet fax would be nice - fax machines with publicly reachable IP addresses, protected by SSL, that just print whatever page is sent to them. Some form of authentication would be essential of course :-) Regards, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer ([email protected]) http://www.biplane.com.au/kauer GPG fingerprint: 61A0 99A9 8823 3A75 871E 5D90 BADB B237 260C 9C58 Old fingerprint: 2561 E9EC D868 E73C 8AF1 49CF EE50 4B1D CCA1 5170 _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog
