I have seen a number of native OS/2 Fax programs mentioned, most with
similar sounding names (FAX/PM, PMfax, etc.) and I have no idea how to
choose among them. If users, particularly those who have used multiple
fax programs, could offer some advice, I'd be happy to assemble it all
and post the results.

I need a fax program that will allow me to send documents from any
application, including both native OS/2 ones (e.g., DeScribe) and
Win-OS/2 (e.g., AmiPro for Windows running in a full-screen Win-OS/2
session). The standard approach seems to be for fax programs to
configure themselves like printers, so that I could "print" to the fax
program, which would then pop up a window for me to add a cover sheet
and enter the telephone number(s). The program _must_ have full support
for ATM fonts, so that I can prepare a complex document in either a
native OS/2 or Windows word processor or DTP program and have it faxed
in exactly the same shape (except for differences in resolution) as it
would have if printed directly.

I know that most DOS products will run in a VDM, but I'm only interested
in native OS/2 implementations. 

I'll post a summary in a couple of weeks.

Thanks,

David
