Very serious about this.  Senior VP was setting in call center
yesterday and was not happy with the bottle neck at fax machines. I
have set up 4 just in the center with 38 agents.  Did
not like the agents leaving there desk ie. the phone.

SW airlines sends a fax back for each PNR and the agent must have that
(or something off it) to attach to there out going email to Gov.
travelers.

Some agents tell me the get between 50 and 75 from SW a day.

As you can see from above if I do this (which it looks I have to) it
needs to be very reliable.

At the same time I was thinking if I put this in to the call center in
VA I might want to roll this out to the whole company.

I have download the GFI Fax maker and I hope to install it soon on a
test server.

If you know of better products please let me know.  Anything in Linux
that could save us $$$$.
