We use the free HylaFax software on our systems here. Bill -- INTERNET: bill@Celestial.COM Bill Campbell; Celestial Systems, Inc. UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 2835 82nd Avenue S.E.

This is a problem for two reasons - one, we have to train everyone to enter faxes a certain way, and typing and syntax mistakes are not immediately obvious. As a result, this will end up an administrative and support nightmare for us. Any other solutions?
