I use IBM's Facsimile Support/400.  It has a printer driver that can be
utilized by your PC machines, and you can fax directly from your iseries
applications.  Does not require any external PC.  Can use certain IBM
modems shipped for ECS support for low volume usage.  It can also use
numerous other integrated hardware, like the 4 port communication cards
with the built in modems.

Slightly off topic, but I thought this list might be able to provide me
with
some info.

We are thinking about investing into a fax system which will run on our NT
network, allowing PC documents to be received and transmitted to and from
other fax machines. We would also want this system to handle documents
that
are output from our AS400 based JBA ERP system, such as order
acknowledgements, invoices and purchase orders. We currently use an NT
based
package, Formscape to print these documents from JBA and then some of
these
documents are manually faxed.

Has anyone out there implemented a similar system? If so what hardware and
software did you purchase and what were the implentation costs. I have
read
that Quadrant Software's FastFax is a good solution but would be
interested
in any alternative solutions.

Any info will be much appreciated,

TIA
