| 146789 | 2003-05-23 12:28:00 | There is a program by ringcentral for tidying fax quality: clearfax i found it on my search. I agree fax machines are almost the same price as some of the software titles. Already have Caller ID hooked up :-) tried to get a Caller ID modem from DSE and they said they dont stock them in either internal or external nature :-( i'll sort that out when i visit another. Whats your site by the way? |

| 146790 | 2003-05-24 10:10:00 | hi Captive Mine is just a family (www.angelfire.com) site that I have yet to complete. I have a problem that I know what I want (kind of), have the tools to do it (macromeda suite) but no skills :( . I find the many online tutorials are good but I have trouble learning that way. I have been on the hunt for some sort of course (night only) where I can learn the skills I lack. sam m |

Personally I reckon it is better to spend a couple of hundred on a PC and load Linux and use it as a dedicated fax running OCR so that storage and searching is easier as well as the savings on paper. Most fax sofware can also have notification enabled. |

| 146793 | 2003-05-24 11:54:00 | hey mikebartnz :-) Which program do you mean specifically? |

| 146794 | 2003-05-24 12:38:00 | I have set up Bitware, Winfax and PhoneTools. I preferred Bitware but all of them have features I like. It would be good to be able to put together the features you liked from each one into a bundle. I don't think you would want to buy the program running dozens of lines as I think that the price may be a bit inhibative, it was more to point out that a pc fax solution is viable and has benefits. |

| 146795 | 2003-05-24 12:51:00 | Fair enough :-) I did note the version of bitward i tried recently had a more complicated system to administer for the messaging than the old windows 95 versions . For some people it is a plus I guess . I would prefer myself a simple <message> <beep> etc rather than <menu> < button> <menu> to some degree [but not completely] . and you can leave it on default menus i guess but then you get <kiwi voice/message><next><american message possibly etc> which sounds unideal to me . As you have highlighted though this may be a problem with the smaller users than larger ones [i guess call centers or similair may have more time to administer it than me, who is more of your average user without oodles of time to spend on recording voice messages for menus [or i chooce not to atleast]] . The program was reasonably reliable compared to some of the others i tried . Winfax used to combine with Phoneworks right? which is now a discontinued product if i recall correctly . I emailed DSE about Winfax who contacted Norton who replied to me saying it could support voice recording through compatible TAPI software . . sound like what you have experienced? personally i wanted one solution rather than having to research even more complicated things such as which has the right features and will function with this other program . Hmm the www . phonetools . com site looks interesting . Is that the one you have tried? I might try that out later . Thanks for that it will be interesting to try another :-) |
