Does anyone know of good FAX modem software for the IBM PC? I'm trying
to set up a sort of Faxmail service on my bulletin board, so the primary
requirement is that it can run in unattended batch mode. The long list
of requirments is:
o Does *NOT* require Windows to run.
o Can be called from another program to receive faxes.
My BBS software can route incoming fax connections to
an external program.
o Can be called from another program to transmit faxes.
I also envision users being able to call the software as
a "door" type program to send ASCII or graphics files.
As long as the fax software supports batch mode operation
I can write a front-end to handle the user interface.
o Can place incoming faxes in directories according to the
originator's ID string, or can pass the ID string back to
the calling program as a return code or via a log file.
Naturally, PD or Shareware software is preferred but I'm also willing
to look at commercial programs. I'll summarize all email responses.
