Mark,

The last time I did this (it was quite a few years ago) we used an old PC
running some free (or very cheap) software that acted as a fax gateway.  The
software may even have been called 'faxgate'.  We created a text file in a
directory the gateway could see, it found the file, set up the fax from the
information in the text file and pre-stored templates, and sent it.  We used
it to send out purchase orders and payment advices.

I'll forward this to the person who actually did all the work, he may be
able to cast a little more light on it.  I don't work there anymore so my
memory is a bit rusty!
:-)


HTH

Subject: D3 Automatic Faxing

Dear All:

One of my clients, D3, unix Terian Whitebox Pick server (?) would like to
have his system generate roughly 100 faxes per day for invoices and purchase
orders.

I would be interested what the off-the-shelf approach would be. He has a US
Robotics Modem connected to a serial port and all of his users are PC's
running Accuterm.

One thought is the user-level Blat-like approach whereby the document is
downloaded to the user's PC and that PC has a Fax setup as a printer, blah,
blah, blah. 

I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Mark Johnson
