Re: 2664 Fax adapter at V5R1/2

Yes you can fax through Domino.  No, you do not want to fax your iSeries 
generated stuff that way.  Unless you don't mind these steps:

Faxing Domino stuff is fine.  And if you have a supported attachment it 
will even open that up on the fax.

It even has a Lotus print-to-fax driver that's ok for sending your pc 
printouts out via fax.

Now, the Domino fax will probably require special iSeries hardware also. 
For inbound we use a regular V.24 comm port with a DID modem from 
MultiTech that IBM is pushing.  That's ok.  For outbound we use the 2805 
card.  The 2805 has 4 ports.  You could spread them out between Domino and 
Fax for iSeries.  We have four 2805's.  Two cards (8 ports) are for 
outbound iSeries faxing.  Two cards (8 ports) are for outbound Domino Fax 
for iSeries faxing.

We are using a Cisco phone system.  It does a lousy job of handling analog 
extensions for modems.  Bad enough to the point that we are using an 
Adtran FXS unit to bypass the Cisco equipment.  Solved some issues with 
ECS, EDI, faxing, etc.

I was reading that this afternoon and obviously missed the 2664 reference

We don't use it that heavily, in fact I think it languished there for a 
year or so before a use was found for it, so we might be able to push it 
off to another platform. We've got Zetafax running (*most* of the time) 
on a W2k server, and I presume faxing can be done through Domino, so it 
gives me some other options. It's probably cheaper than getting a new 
card, and I guess we'd need to reconfigure our software to accomodate it 
anyway.

Cheers
