more cumbersome to use than a PC. When most people had PCs, we got ri

Perhaps it's more precise to say that OV/MVS is, by far, the closest
current match to PROFS. Is that fair?

No; OV/VM may be PROFS, but OV/MVS is quite different.

It is possible to get reliable e-mail-to-fax service. For example, you may
wish to set up a private IPSec SMTP tunnel between your mainframe and your
e-mail-to-fax service provider. Then you are connecting directly and over a
private link, and you can have reasonable confidence in the transmission.

The last place I worked used MQ to get faxes from the mainframe to a
RightFax server. Worked pretty well... although every "so often" RightFax
would decide not to take a "liking" to certain messages/sizes and respond
a bit petulantly.

That's about as much as you want to know.

I'll not dispute the desirability of email over fax, but remember: you
have to give the customer what s/he wants.

Wow, it's a small small world.
I used to attend lectures given by Ian Sharp, in the 1970's, at UWaterloo.
And, he was a Bridge partner of mine in thew mid-1980's.
Is he still around?

Brad,
When I was working at P&H Mining, when they still had a mainframe, they did
faxing through CICS, a special PC that came with the product, and a Unix
application that ran on the mainframe. This was the only Unix system we had on
the mainframe. The only problem is - I can't remember the n

You might be surprised just how many fax solutions are just because
that's the way it's always been done and the recipient would -much-
rather have email.
To answer your question, we email. Be aware we have had problems when an
individual goes on vacation and the mailbox fills up.
