I've found the Faxmaker to be one pretty reliable. Granted, with only 16
people in our office we don't use it nearly as much as you will. I like the
fact that Faxmaker is more flexible in terms of the fax/modems it will work
with. Many products out will only support 1 or 2 fax/modem cards, which are
rather expensive IMO.

Good luck with it. Be sure to test every feature and ask as many questions
of their tech support as you can. The one downside of GFI is they don't do
returns. Once you've bought it, you've bought it.

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 $$$$.
