Networkable FAX software

apollo · 17th March 2005, 9:35 AM

Hi everyone!
I've been looking for some low-cost faxing software for a while now for my employers, tried WinFax but had problem after problem with it and have now given up on it.
There are heaps of good products on the market however most start at $1000+ for a 5 user license.

Does anyone know of some afordable networkable fax software that will run on XP machines? It doesn't need to be mega fancy, just simple and if possible use the outlook address book.

I've tried looking for something for so long but just can't seem to find something that works and is cheap.

Please help me before i throw my self out the window!

Thanks!

Have you looked at the XP Fax console? It looks like you can't share it for networking, so it's more than likely not what you're after

You could always try adiXein HFC, and a HylaFax server, but it's Linux only, and requires a bit of work to setup...

Edit: of course, if you have Windows 2003 server, then it's easily done

I've tried HylaFAX before but couldn't seem to get it up and running - and i would prefer something Windows based so if something is up with it and i'm not around to fix it - someone else can.

has anyone used Black Ice's Impact Fax Server???

(thanks for the suggestions!)
