Using OS X 10.3.4 built-in faxing

[Paul Thompson]

My take on faxing in OS 10.3.2 is that it is rudimentary and not really 
satisfactory mainly because there is no way of telling whether it is 
going thru correctly or received at the other end.

I had a similar situation where I had to fax a revised GST return. It 
was impossible to tell whether it had gone thru as it terminated very 
fast. Finally I used a 7100 with Global Fax on it and the process of 
sending was obvious and transparent.

You can get some idea of what's happening with an OS X fax by clicking 
the printer utility in the Dock and it shows progress - sometimes. But 
all in all it's a pretty mickey mouse set up that needs a major 
overhaul, especially if you're faxing important material. Or buy a 
dedicated fax program.
