- Never heard or used any that you list. You didn't mention the
- Intel FAXability software (DOS or WIN3). I use it and it works
- great. They also have FAXability/OCR. This receives the fax
- document and optionally converts the FAX to a text file that you
- can later edit and resend via FAX or print.
-
- If you have access to a FAX machine, try using Intel's "FAXback"
- service. It's real neat. Basically you dial an 800 number,
- (800-525-3019) and follow the script and enter document numbers
- via the touch-tone pad. There are hundreds of documents that
- you can receive on any Intel product.
-
- You need to have you local fax number handy before you call.
- If you have a chance to try it out, ask for the following documents:
-
- 9010 FaxBACK Catalog
- 9000 Intel PC and LAN Enhancement Price List
- 9004 Fax and Modem Product Overview
- 9418 Intel FAXability Software Guide
-
- You can only get five at a time and the catalog will give you
- an idea of what's available.
-
- BTW, an addition feature of this free service: Once you do get
- your fax modem and fax software, you can use this service to *test*
- the whole setup. (ie, you don't have to have someone else fax you
- stuff while you figure out the proper configurations).
-
- If you want to learn more about the FAXback product itself, you can
- call 1-800-FAX-BACK and get info sent to you the same way.
