Re: Outbound fax from 400

I echo Rob's comments.  The reason that you buy an iSeries is to get one
integrated solution from one vendor. and when it breaks, you have one
number to call with no finger pointing.

We use IBM's Facsimile Support/400, 5798FAX.
On our development machine we use our ECS IBM 7852-400 modem.  I don't
think the earlier ECS modems would have worked as I don't believe they
supported fax.
On our production machine we use IBM 2805 cards.  They are a small card
that has four ports.  You plug your phone jacks right into the ports.
We do graphics and overlays.
It can be used for inbound, but we don't use that.  Instead we use Domino
fax for iSeries using DID lines.
So far today we've sent out 83 faxes.  That's about what we've averaged
the last few days.  Number of pages per fax varies.

Outbound fax from 400






What recommendations do people have for a product to allow outbound faxes
to
be generated from the 400?

Inbound fax is not needed. Outbound can be simple text only; graphics and
overlays are not required.

Volume is estimated at up to 40 pages per day.

I don't care if it is a spool file redirect, APIs from RPG, or emails
which
get converted by a gateway to a fax destination. Whatever is the most cost
effective for this type of volume.

If an email gateway is not used, what hardware is recommended? Can the ECS
modem in a 270 be used for outbound faxes?

Vendor responses are welcomed via private email
