Ted,

We have been a VERY satisfied user of Cornerstone Communications
FaxServer/401 (now called Unifier) since 1993.  We can quickly and easily
send reports and such to either fax machines or e-mail addresses (as
attachments) with no or minimal programming (depending on the situation).

We do have a problem with forms overlays at our facility because we use
IBM's AFP and our forms don't work well with Unifier, due to our overlays.
 However, I have been told that if we use a different package
(interestingly enough, EZprint is on the list) the problem won't exist and
it'll work correctly.  I intend to acquire EZprint (or something
equivalent) in the fairly near future to resolve the problem.

Having an integrated fax/e-mail solution with MAPICS and the AS/400
(iSeries?) has paid for itself MANY, MANY times over.  It is very much
worth the investment.  We like Cornerstone's product, but others are good
also.

Hello.  Recently, I evaluated EZprint for creating laser prints of the
MAPICS forms.  It's nice and easy to setup and would work great if all we
were doing is laser printing; but, we would like a reletively easy way to
fax and email as well.

My affiliate would like me to go with Jacana forms, but I had sticker
shock
when I heard his 'ball park' figure.  Formtastic is another vendor much
like
EZprint and IT has a integration module for mapics that would allow easy
fax/email.

Has anyone considered these products?  If so, why should I be seriously
considering Jacana?

Another question I have is what's the pros and cons for fax/email
offerings
from a user point of view (i.e. keys fax and fast fax)?

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks, TED
