Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Fax Integration

Collapse
Posted by MaineBob OConnor on

I can send a FAX by email using www.j2.com cost 5 cents per 30 seconds. Typically the body of the email Faxes ok but is fine light print. You can leave the body blank and include an attachment in the .tiff fax format. j2 provides a utility that allows you to print a word document to a "fax printer" which opens a blank email with the attachment. All you have to do to send is fill in the TO field with the number 12075551212@j2send.com. It works for international faxes too (country code city number). So, you could hack ns_sendmail to send your faxes and use an external service. Using a built in FaxModem might be more complicated and you still have to pay for LD services...
