Re: V4R4 and Fax support

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

You heard wrong.  You have to purchase the Facsimile 400 product extra to
get it with your OS/400.
DSPSFWRSC
5798TBY-IBM Facsimile Support for AS/400

This will give you the SNDFAX, SBMFAX and a few other options.

It has a goofy Program number, 5798 versus 5769, because it is called a
PRPQ.  In theory PRPQ's are sometimes absorbed into the base operating
system.  However this has been a PRPQ for a long time.

You'll hear about alternative products.  Many of them will require an
external PC.  Ask the vendors if they:
-Support the new 8 port card for sending and receiving of faxes
-Support the ISDN card for routing of inbound faxes.
-Have a printer driver so that anyone can print direct from Word or any
other application and have the faxes automatically send
-Support the IBM 7855 fax/data modem often used for ECS if you want to do
low volume on the cheap.  (Better have the right modem.)
-Require an external PC.

I believe I heard that fax support was included as part of OS/400.  If so,
I'm looking for anyone with experience utilizing it with     RPG
generated reports.  We are on V4R4 at this time.
