Check out Captaris.com Awhile back at a very shitty job I used to have I was asked to integrate a fax component into a marketing application and used an API from Captaris Medialinq. It took a couple days to get the code working and the API was ok. The faxes did send out though and it was all web based.

Again, dont quote me on this, but one of the windows services is the fax gateway service, I am sure you could set up a windows box as a fax gateway?

Re: Send Fax through Internet
Thanks Dov.This looks relatively promising.However, since I work for a state agency that's very tight-fisted with its money, I may have a hard time convincing them the 11 cents a minute charge would be worth it. --Anne I once looked into this for a friend, and came across this: http://www.faxaway.com HTH -dov Dov Katz Enterprise Client Technology Morgan Stanley 750 7th Avenue | 34th Floor | NYC 10019 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ From: Anne Girardeau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 12:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Send Fax through Internet I'm interested in setting up an application that will allow news releases to be faxed to various media outlets.My question is, does anyone know of a good application or service that will allow me to accomplish this?Any help would be appreciated. --Anne _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: Send Fax through Internet
Thanks Mike.I took a look around but I wasn't able to find the API you were referring to. Would you happen to know what fees Captaris charges for their service?

http://www.protofax.com/ We never needed it, but it came with AbleCommerce.There's a licensing fee, but it has a custom tag to connect it to your CF apps. --Jeff On 7/21/2004 1:15 PM, Anne Girardeau wrote: Thanks Mike.I took a look around but I wasn't able to find the API you were referring to.

Re: Send Fax through Internet
I've been using ProtoFax for about 3 years and it works great.We send out a bunch of faxes every day and it's held up nicely.The best part is that it will take HTML and convert it to a fax.So you can basically just do a CFSaveContent around some HTML/CF code and save the file to the ProtoFax drop folder, and presto the file is fax offed.You have to add some header info in the file (fax number, subject) though.I have a custom tag that does all this if you're interested.

Re: Send Fax through Internet
Andrew, This looks like a potentially good alternative except I don't have a fax modem :(Our IT guys are looking into Captaris to implement organization wide and that of course would solve my problem then and there.If not, however, this may be a good stop gap if I can get a fax modem for the server. --Anne I've been using ProtoFax for about 3 years and it works great.We send out a bunch of faxes every day and it's held up nicely.The best part is that it will take HTML and convert it to a fax.So you can basically just do a CFSaveContent around some HTML/CF code and save the file to the ProtoFax drop folder, and presto the file is fax offed.You have to add some header info in the file (fax number, subject) though.I have a custom tag that does all this if you're interested.

The API documentation sucks.. Or at elast it did. I would call all the time with questions and one day the guy said we needed to spend $5,000 on a service contract to get things going... They eventually helped us out and backed off the ridiculous request. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: Send Fax through Internet
Any suggestions on a linux version of this? All of our CFMX and BD servers run on linux.

Re: Send Fax through Internet
Have you considered J2 (http://www.j2.com/)? I use their service mainly to receive faxes, but their sending rates are reasonable and very easy to use. It works entirely via email, and can accept attachments such as PDF, Word, or HTML.
