Fax Jobs


Hello,

I need to setup my own home "server" that would be able to recieve an fax to be send and send it using the modem-fax inside the computer and the phone line connected to it.

Is there any way to do it automaticaly?

Is there any API or a software that can help me?

Thank you


EDIT:
By modem-fax I mean that old 56k modem that we used a few years ago in order to go online..

Thank you.
I will check it, however, a windows app would be much better as I need this computer for a few more tasks

Windows apps of this nature will more than likely be expensive. You may want the best of both worlds by using windows and a vm to run the fax software. It would also allow you to reboot the vm on the fly just in case of software malfunction on the fax server.

how about this?

if you're running Windows XP, you can finally donate that old fax machine to a local charity and use the desk space for something more valuable—like a box of doughnuts. An easy-to-use fax service is built into Windows XP so you can send and receive faxes from your computer.

If you can find a copy of WinFax it will do exactly what you want. I used WinFax for 6 years to accept and send faxes and act as an answering machine (I loved it).

WinFax can also be used as a FaxBack system if I remember correctly.

You need to purchase this used, because it appears that Symantec no longer sells it.

I do aware about this function.
However, I cannot automaticly send documents to print.
I was looking for writing some kind of vbscript code in order to fax documents. In WinXP I need to send them to a "printer" in order to fax them..
