SOAPBOX(*on)
Not to start any flames, but I stake my claim with Fax Server/401. I've said so 
several times. I'll say so again! I'm not sure that I've noticed the Quadrant 
product receiving that much praise here, either. Most of the responses I've 
seen seem to point toward IBM's fax solution. 
     
Having stated that, I'll admit that I've never worked with Quadrant, so I cannot
say that one is better than the other. However, I will state that the product I 
use (Fax Server/401) is extremely capable and serves my needs without fail. 
Please do not include me in your blanket statements: "we've all basically 
decided that the quadrant product is far superior..." I have decided nothing of 
the sort.

SOAPBOX(*OFF)

Sorry about that.... I just get perturbed at blanket assumptions and misleading 
statements. I'm not a holy avenger, just a satisfied customer.  :)

One last statement: Thanks to Bob Crothers for his participation on this list. 
Its nice to know that should gremlins strike, support is just an email away.

Bob,
     
MY decision and MANY OTHERS on this list that Quadrant is a great product 
is based on us generally using  it and needing a fax product that delivers 
ALOT MORE than just minimal functionality... 
     
If you've got a better product, use it!  No arguments...:)   I just didn't 
hear too many fs/401 users echo'ing that they were using 401 and 
recomending it...other than you....
     
     
I don't have the time anymore to keep giving every
vendor out there yet another chance to prove to me that their product 
lacks basic functionality....and I put at the TOP of basic functionality 
being able to send more than 1 splf in a SINGLE FAX TRANSMIT 
SESSION...WITH seperate and different OVL's...  
     
Frankly, my response was in reply to all those "FAX/400's the best thing 
since...." echos that always come down the pipe to this question...  
     
If I can do it on the fax machine at my office I should be able to do it 
with someone's software package.  Period!   ....perhaps this is why one of 
the most common packages doesn't even make minimum config requirement 
cutoffs.... :)  Those are not only MY requirement but those of ALL my 
clients...
     
...as for m/s...not arguements...:)_

OUR???????????  You selling this??  
     
And to be candid, I'll give it a looksy again sometime between now and 
Anaheim..but right now my sched's full...
     
Can FS/401 send more than 1 splf in a fax session????  Curious..I dont' 
know the answer to that one...  Further, I will only look at a fax package 
that does/will.
