Incoming fax to email solution?
Hoping someone can make a suggestion as to what solution, hardware and
software, I need. I'm in an office situation with an old Brother fax machine, which although can be connected to a PC, it's only good for faxing from screen. It won't send incoming faxes to the PC hard disk, it will only print incoming faxes to paper. So, I need a new fax machine or new fax modem or something. In the office are four PCs. The PCs aren't networked to each other directly, however they are all networked via a remote server. We run off an XP platform. I would like two things to happen: * I want to be able to send faxes from any of the four PCs. * I want incoming faxes to be received by one of the PCs, and for that incoming fax image to be automatically sent to an email address. We currently use Outlook as an email client, and Outlook runs on an exchange server I think (I don't if I have the correct terminology there, but we're a remote office and we ring head office for Outlook type issues, so I think that involves an exchange server or something). Can anyone suggest what might be an economical hardware/software solution which will achieve this? I know I can just get a modern day fax machine and the software will take care of most of that, but it's the automatic emailing of images which I'm not sure about. Many thanks! Steven |
