Does anyone know of a fax program that I can runprogram to and pass a fax
number / recipient to? Tobit is too expensive. We're using the program
called "Dosprinter" to call Winfax which is set up as a printer. This works
fine, but we can't pass the fax number to it.

Hi

I use the bgfax program this is free and old but works fine,

http://www2.cs.uh.edu/~bguillot/bgfax.htm


this is my batfax.bat to start it with runprogram, I use two parameters the
file-name to send and the fax number

@ECHO OFF
REM Starten Fax-Programm
REM Parameter 1 = Dateiname ( zu senden )
REM 2 = Telefonnummer
DEL FAXOUT.LOG
IF %2! == ! GOTO AUS
IF EXIST %1 GOTO WEITER
GOTO AUS
:WEITER
DEL TMP.FAX
rem zuerst konvertieren
MAKEFAX %1 TMP.FAX
rem dann senden
BGFAX /SEND:9600 TMP.FAX %2 /HW /NR /SD
IF ERRORLEVEL==5 GOTO SENDOK
ECHO FEHLER %2 > FAXOUT.LOG
goto aus
:SENDOK
ECHO OKAY %2 > FAXOUT.LOG
:AUS

Hi

Try Active Fax from Vogler Software. Much cheaper than Tobit, and can
interface very well.

Regards

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll start looking into both these ideas.
