Some of these multifunction printers send faxes and have appropriate drivers etc. Could be an option - one off cost for hardware - put it on network somewhere and go for broke. Or I recall back in the day there were cards that plugged into the PC and these too were networkable solutions. Quick search for fax cards on google came up with a heap of results. Bargain prices like $20. -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted Roche Sent: Tuesday, 13 September 2016 12:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Sending Faxes from FoxPro I'm supporting a vertical niche app that sends faxes. (Yes, faxes. I've gotten a lot of snarky comments from folks who can't believe in the Third Age of the Internet that people still rely on faxes to do business, but it is true: the recipients of orders are factories far from modern internet hubs and faxes are still the best alternative, even though error-prone and primitive. The system also supports order-by-email and EDI. So, that out of the way,...) MaxEmail has announced they have been bought by eFax, and account costs are going up significantly. A $14.85/yr personal account will be $84/yr. A larger account will go from $69.95/year to $19.95/mo, with $0.10/page charges over 200 faxes. I'm still working out the cost implications. Generally an additional $15/mo charge won't break the backs of any client, but if there's another alternative available at a reasonable price, it's incumbent on me to consider it. I've checked the Wiki and the last Fax entry was dated 2008. I've checked the leafe.com forums and mostly it's me recommended Maxemail :). There's also send2fax, which I'm going to check out, although it looks like the same company, rates are better. Hmmm. Anyone else sending faxes? How are you doing it?
