Tim, For receiving FAX, you can do everything within CW. I use RxFAX with a custom script that extracts some info from the fax header using OCR, converts the tiff file to PDF, assembles a MIME message and sends it through SMTP. For sending, you have to deal not only with the transmission, but also failure/success notification, retries, queuing, reporting and a lot of other things. CW will do the transmission part, but lacks the rest. You can reinvent the wheel (your own custom scripts plus TxFAX) or you can use HF. Also HF has lots of clients that enable creating "virtual printers" and thus sending fax directly from any printer-enabled application on your network. It boils down to what you are really trying to accomplish. Unless doing something really small, IMHO it will be easier with HF. If you really don't want to use HF, its possible, but you need some scripting to deal with the issues above. Good luck, -- Paulo PS: I'm available for consulting - affordable fees :-) _______________________________________________ Callweaver-users mailing list Callweaver-users@callweaver.org http://lists.callweaver.org/mailman/listinfo/callweaver-users
