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 Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: Wednesday, 17 March 2004 07:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
