An email appliance is a good idea and might be the
best solution...I thought of this too, but its main
downfall is that it would require a constant internet
connection (because these orders are extremely time
sensitive--minutes will matter) so it would tie up a
phone line. This could be very expensive on a
business line. Something wireless could turn out to
be cheaper...but the wireless devices I've looked at
would be pretty hard to recoup the cost of.
Also, the store owners might not like to put something
in the store that could distract their employees from
doing their job.

Get one of those "email only" devices and email the
information. They are
not much over $100 i think.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to figure out an alternative to faxing,
and I am wondering if anyone has any ideas. I am
basically looking for some kind of technology where I
can send orders from a ColdFusion e-commerce site to
various stores and shops. It would have to be
relatively inexpensive and durable...and the "simpler"
the better. Something ideal would be along the lines
of a credit card printer that is somehow able to
"Answer the phone" so that it could get and print
incoming orders.
I have considered a text pager, but they're too
expensive and are rather difficult to read long orders
from. Also, the device has to be reliable and idiot
proof.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
Eron Cohen
