we have been Very very happy with ZETAfax software Its fairly easy to set up
on the server, and workstations. Its performance is pretty transparent. Go
to Equisys.com for details.

I have another of my various questions to post to you guys. We would like to fax through Vantage. As I understand, we need 3rd party software and we would select the fax machine just like we were printing to it off of the network. What software are you guys using to fax? Would I have to make sure that our fax machines have the capability of network cards being put in them? I don't understand how to set up a fax machine on a network.

Thanks!

You can go to www.efax.com. They have various solutions (some of them are free) that don't require server side software. I use their service for myself, it works good and it's free. eFax Messenger Plus is free, but they also have eFax Corporate that supports all kind of things.

Hope this helps,

Wendy, we use a product called RightFax. I have a stand alone NT server
that runs the fax product. There are many available out there. I have set a
regular HP printer up to receive the inbound faxes to our main fax number.
The inbound faxes can be printed right away, or e-mailed to an administrator
for delivery throughout the company electronically. For outbound faxing
from Vantage or any other product for that matter, everyone on the network
can create their own Directory or use a General Company Directory which list
all fax numbers. Downside to the product that we use, is that it is not
integrated with MS Outlook. Hence, people have to maintain both their
Outlook Contacts as well as making sure the RightFax Directory is current.
Other than that, it certainly makes issuing P.O's and Sales Order
Acknowledgements easier.

We have a Shiva LAN Rover (by Intel) that allows PC to use a
modem on the network. You setup your fax software to use this
network modem. When printing a form select the Fax as the printer.

We also have a canon fax here that can be hooked to a printer port.
While I have tried this it's possible this could be shared over the
network.

Wendy,

We use a product called NeT SatisFAXtion from Faxback. www.faxback.com It works fine for us. You just install it on a computer with a couple of modems on it, we purchased a BrookTrout fax card for ours and built the pc out of some old parts. Nothing fancy needed. You install the client software, we use WinFax, on the workstations and they are faxing. All our faxes come into the fax server and we have a receptionist that forwards everyone their faxes, you then cut out all the paper faxes and they just come to your desktop. You still have to keep a couple of old fax machines around for the manual hard copy stuff. I think FaxBack is now offering a way to do faxing with your e-mail client.

We use Net Satisfaxtion too. If you use anything other than the
brooktrout card with the product you're looking for trouble. They
gave me a free fax card (not a faxmodem) and NT would always get
a BSOD several times a week. They finally said I would need the
brooktrout and I had to pay the difference but it works good.
