| 254474 | 2004-07-24 23:30:00 | Beetle, if you already have a fax machine, why complicate your very busy life with trying to get your PC to send/receive faxes. And being in the motel industry, I would have thought you would want the reliability of a fax machine "working" at all times, maybe to receive bookings etc. |

| 254475 | 2004-07-25 00:02:00 | I agree with Baldy. Fax machines are so much more reliable, and your business is likely to be quite dependent on faxes. When was the last time you needed to fix the software in a fax machine? Has your fax machine ever been hit with any viruses or trojans? ... if you get the point. |

| 254476 | 2004-07-25 00:42:00 | I know a guy who installs and teaches people in using fax software for large businesses where they may have ten or more dedicated lines coming in to a fax server. The amount of paper saved would be enormous. The only problem with using a PC for faxing is when you don't have a dedicated line for it and having to reboot Windows after every patch. :D | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 254477 | 2004-07-25 02:52:00 | Maybe Beetle wants to have the occasional option of being able to fax a page or document straight from the computer instead of having to print it out then feed it thru the fax machine? That would be a rather convenient option but you don't get a receipt, if that is an important consideration. In fact you might not always be 100% sure the fax actually got sent. ;-) | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
| 254478 | 2004-07-25 04:29:00 | I have just set up outlook to send faxes as I find it convenient to beable to save the outgoing fax without havng to punch holes in a piece of paper. however i will continue to receive faxes by way of my fax machine and then bin them when I have dealt with the inquiry. I feel this arrangement gives me the best of both worlds. Also with my little fax machine I don't know whether the fax has gone where I intended anyway until I get a reply to it. Have faith brothers. |

| 254482 | 2004-07-28 02:22:00 | If I was you beetle I would not get anything multifunction for as you say > and as you know round here, all my electric devices end up working like crap, so why not stuff it all up and only have to replace one thing then??? If one thing broke you would be without printer, fax, scanner and copier;\ |
