==== Brief:

To allow users on a 40 PC Windows 2000 network to be able to send
faxes from their workstations.

==== The Network:

40 Workstations
Windows 2000 Professional
Outlook 2000 (with email Personal Folders (PST) files stored in user's
home folder on the network. Sent through VPOP3 (www.pscs.co.uk) on the
server.)
Roaming Profiles
3 Windows 2000 Servers.


The Solution Must:

Allow users to send PDF documents, Word Docs etc from their
workstations running Windows 2000 Professional in a domain environment
– with company fax header.

Be sent from a fax server.

Save sent items, enabling users to browse sent faxes.

Allow users to roam their profiles to other workstations on the
network; with their sent items following them.

Be able to handle up to 50 Faxes per hour.

The solution does not have to have the ability to receive faxes.


Other notes:

With our NT4.0 network, we used Symantec WinFax Pro however; this does
not support roaming profiles. The sent faxes are stored locally –
hence when the user changed workstations, they see all faxes sent from
the workstation, not the user themselves.

Budget:

Free or cheap is good, but not essential

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Hi, apcs_uk-ga:

I have had some experience using the Zetafax server in a "fax on
demand" type of application, and this is clearly one of several
commercial packages that could be made to work for you.

However perhaps the least costly package depends on your need for
storing the sent faxes.  Could this be done satisfactorily by sending
a copy of the fax into the users' Outlook folders?  Or did you want
some standalone "browser" for the sent faxes, perhaps integrated with
centralized archiving of them?

regards, mathtalk-ga

Sending to the user's outlook is perfect. Everything in one place is
even easier for the user. As long as they can see the difference
between an email and a fax easily.

In my company (more than 30,000 employees) we use
