No...I don't think so. What I'm doing now via fax, I'd LIKE to do via email INSTEAD (I think). But where my fax software allows me to "group" recipients (and put them into multiple groups if necessary), it doesn't appear that either of the two email clients I've seen (Eudora and Outlook), can let me organize recipients the same way. Are there any email programs/clients that DO allow grouping of recipients, as I do now with my fax software? THIS is what I'm asking. :) I don't where else to ask, or how else to ask.

email to replace fax?
I currently do my own price requests for equipment. (Purchasing does everything EXCEPT computer gear.) I use WinFax Pro. I have a database of recipients, organized into groups, based on hardware/software/whatever for which I require pricing. Using WinFax Pro requires that I use my modem. This is currently NOT a problem. But I HAVE been thinking... Perhaps I could accomplish the same thing via email. I personally don't use Outlook...yet. I'm still using Eudora. But from what I've seen, it doesn't APPEAR that either is particularly conducive to creating groups to accomplish the same thing. So I've been wondering... Assuming I'm correct about neither being particularly suited to doing what I'm wanting to do, does anyone know of some kind of email "app" that would allow this? (I know that WinFax Pro can interface to email. And I tried it...once. It sucks...assuming I was using it as designed...which I think I was.) Other than my Eudora client, Outlook or Exchange Server, I am ignorant of email package(s) for ANYTHING. Thanks in advance, you help is appreciated. :) - Thomas Smith IT Supervisor, AKA: Systems Administrator, Network Administrator, Database Administrator, Security Administrator, Email Administrator, Telecommunications Administrator, Webmaster Henry Co Water and Sewerage Authority 770.957.6659 (v) / 770.898.8416 (f) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
Winport and w2k
Summer of last year we purchased Winport. We wanted to create a RAS server, and eliminate individual modems on users' desks. We installed the software on the server (NT4), and the clients (NT4), and everything was fine. Earlier this year, however, we started rolling out w2k, primarily on our clients. (The RAS server is still currently NT4.) We have had difficulties with the w2k clients. Initially, we gave up on winport on w2k and kept an extra NT4 client or two in the Finance Dept, so people could perform their banking tasks. Now we're trying to spend the time to get past this problem, and we still aren't having any luck. Winport on w2k DOES work...when we only want to use Hyper Terminal. But SOME of the staff need to use ProComm. And every time the client hangs when trying to interrogate the winport modem for 'fax modem' capabilities. (This only happens the very FIRST time none cranks up ProComm. Subsequent uses no longer 'check'.) If there is a way to 'fake out' ProComm, we don't know it. Does anyone know how? We also have a couple users who use WinFax Pro. It APPEARS that the EXACT same problem exists. When one tries to crank up WinFax for the first time, the PC hangs while Winport is checking on the 'fax modem' capabilities. We're using Digi boards in our RAS server. They DO have fax modem capabilities. Under NT4 the apps pass this test. But we can't figure out what the heck in w2k is causing the hang. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who might know. :) As always, thanks in advance and we appreciate your help. - Thomas Smith IT Supervisor, AKA: Systems Administrator, Network Administrator, Database Administrator, Security Administrator, Email Administrator, Telecommunications Administrator, Webmaster Henry Co Water and Sewerage Authority 770.957.6659 (v) / 770.898.8416 (f) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
temperature monitoring
We are discovering that both data and voice equipment at several of our remote sites is installed in rooms that are...shall we say...less than ideal. Specifically...at the moment...the rooms are too hot. I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that one can use to monitor the temperature and humidity of a room, or more specifically the datacomm cabinet. (Some 'black box' that uses SNMP?) The only STANDALONE equipment that can monitor temperature and humidity (that I know of) is APC's Environmental Monitoring unit (AP9312TH). The only NON-stand alone temperature monitoring that I'm currently aware of, is APC's PowerChute software that monitors the UPS temperature. But it does NOT monitor the AMBIENT temperature, nor humidity. And it's the ambient temperature in the cabinet I'm wanting to monitor. Thanks in advance, your help is appreciated... :) - Thomas Smith IT Supervisor, AKA: Systems Administrator, Network Administrator, Database Administrator, Security Administrator, Email Administrator, Telecommunications Administrator, Webmaster Henry Co Water and Sewerage Authority 770.957.6659 (v) / 770.898.8416 (f) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
