Used to use the Biscom software years ago.  Their upgrades, especially the 
Cisc-to-Risc, killed them off for us.

We use IBM's Facsimile Support/400.  We use logo's, overlays, etc.

Not sure on the APFDS vs IPDS.  But I could put you in touch with people 
here who use it more often.

We use seven 2805 ports.  (The 8th is reserved for Domino Fax for iSeries. 
 Both are supported by the same team.)  All inbound faxing is done with 
Domino Fax for iSeries using DID modems on 2742 cards.

Faxing from AS400






I have been asked to review replacing an existing Fax Server (a
separate pc unit that reads as400 spooled files and has 
software on as400 to manage traffic), with IBM's 
internal fax cards and software for managing. This site does 
200 - 500 outbound faxes a day over 2 lines, and weekly a batch 
of 2,500. I am totally unfamiliar with the IBM software and looking
for comments on how easy to run by itself, daily reports or screens
of failures, and ease of use to resend, reprint, use  both *scs & *afpds 
spools,
merge logos & forms with spools, etc. 
Customer upgrading to i5 and this fax server is older 
and needing an upgrade for a hefty sum (over 12k). 
Approx 15 rpg programs sending faxes.
