Fax alternatives.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We may be looking into alternatives to Domino Fax for iSeries.  The goal 
is to be able to receive faxes via our DID (Direct Inward Dialing) lines 
via our Adtran unit into our Lotus Domino email.  A strong secondary 
mission will be to be able to send out faxes from our Notes.

Right now, if you send a fax to my fax number it will appear as an email 
right into my Notes.  The first page of the fax is directly visible and 
the entire fax is an attachment.

If I send an email To:  Joe Blow@912605551212@faxing a fax will be sent to 
the fax number at 260-555-1212 and the cover letter will be addressed to 
Joe Blow.  I can also attach some common files such as Excel, Word and 
others and it will expand those and print those on the fax also.

I have no need to be able to fax directly from our other i based 
applications.  We used to have that and realized that should be deprecated 
into email.  We told our customers and other trading partners to settle 
for email or snail mail and got 100% acceptance.  We've turned that 
capability off months ago and removed the software from our systems.

I realize that I may not find a solution that is i based but may require 
some legacy Windows based solution or some such thing.  I will not, 
however, be replicating everyone's email files to some such solution.
