Anyone know of software/cards for the Mac that enables the set up of a
fax-on-demand server? 

I'm setting up a small non-profit organisation and we would like to
provide information from a database automatically, on request to clients
via their fax machine. Ideally the database would run off a Macintosh
server connected to a dedicated line. Unfortunately most solutions seems
to be for Wintel machines, there does not appear to be much development
for the Mac.

So far I've found InfoFax, a Japanese developed software/card solution
which seems quite simple, however many of the menus appear to be in
Japanese (according to their website), which is not easy! There's also
Communigate, the documentation says the fax module will handle
fax-on-demand, but does not tell you how to set it up! 

Can anyone enlighten me? Either:

1.      How to set up Communigate to supply fax-on-demand

2.      Advise on alternative, user-friendly software/cards for the Mac

Perhaps this denotes my ignorance, but I am unsure why you feel the need
for a 'card'. As for fax on demand software, there are a couple of
different options. I would probably look at bingsoftware.com and their
suite of products, most notably PhonePro.  From there, I would probably
do a search on Dejanews.com for faxback software for previous articles.
Good luck. - dan

Thanks very much for the advice: their software is very reasonably
priced, I'm definately considering this option!
