Hi Ed,

We use Faxaway (www.faxaway.com). You generate and email and attached the
doc to it, then send it to 5555551234@faxa way.com where 5555551234 is the
fax number you want it sent to.

You'll have to sign up with them for the service.

Ed,
One of the largest services in the world is Xpedite Systems. They have
an API that will allow you to do just that. Should you desire to bring
this in-house, you migh consider a small fax server that can also be
used to automate faxing throughout your entire organization. Use the
fax server for your office during the day, then use the fax server to
deliver your batch job at night.

Ed,

We have a solution that can do just that....
based on Rightfax and the solution E-connect we will find the faxnumber and
sent it to that number ( also does the same trick for email )

all you have to do is point to the directory.

contact Captaris and ask for JJ ( Netherlands )
