Don,

We do use a lot of email of pdf files in addition to fax.  Some people
like fax.  If 'Smitty' is on vacation the fax still appears in the fax
machine in the middle of the office and not in Smitty's email file.  There
are people who still only check their email once a day.  It took us years
to get the gent who is now our CEO to read his own email instead of having
his assistant do it.  He ain't no 'stuffed shirt'.  He used to be a
bouncer years ago.

Re: Outbound fax from 400








Greg,

let's look at the original requirements list.  40 pages max a day as I
recall...  That's not alot!  And, what I couldn't figure out is why not
just cpysplf that stuff and email it?

But at only 40 pages, it doesn't hit me as speed and immediacy is an
issue...

the iSeries resources.
 * Slow performer.  It takes several minutes before the modem starts
dialing.  And during that 3-5 minutes the system is dedicating as many
resources as possible to the fax job.  Keep in mind that I'm not
referring
to send time (i.e, the amount of time during which the modem is
off-hook)
but only to fax preparation time.
 * Expensive."

I absolutely agree with these observations.  Next time we buy a new
computer we will be looking at other products for faxing.
