It can be quite useful, depending on how many faxes you send and receive. Involves some work, but it certainly can be done. The _only_ downside I can see is that if you lose your internet connection or have problems with Exchange, this can interfere with your faxing. Solution? Keep a physical fax machine on hand for those rare occurances.

Installed ZetaFAX. It integrates nicely with Exchange. Other products are known to integrate with Exchange too. Is it worthwile? For my customers it is, they need to send at least 40 faxes daily and they don't want to print and walk to the fax machine. Some of them are even using it to receive faxes too but that may give some problems with some fax machines.. So, for sending messages it's great. Less work and more speed. For receiving faxes I'd rather use a normal fax machine, at the very least one should be available if the sending party can't send their faxes. It all depends on what you want and how your company operates.. -- B _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
