Re[4]: Fax from the AS/400 Software -- MIDRANGE-L


We didn't license the imaging components, so I've not had to look into that. 
However, I looked in the manuals. PCX image files are used to support overlay 
and bitmap output. Don't know about special chars/fonts/etc.

Please note: Cornerstone Communications has just released an update to this 
product. I haven't looked at the specs yet, but a list of features looked pretty
impressive.

Will the fax product you are using fax documents with overlays, special 
characters, graphics, etc?  I'm looking for a better way to do it from 
EZPrint than Quandrant.
