RE: Re[2]: Fax from the AS/400 Software -- MIDRANGE-L

FAX/400 from IBM works great with overlays.  I don't use special characters or 
graphics, (other than overlays), except for PC Faxes.  So far anything I can 
print on the PC I've been able to fax in addition to any 400 spool file (with 
or without overlays).

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.
