BCM 400 4.0 desktop faxing

[Crowtalks]

I have a customer that I tried to sell desktop faxing to 3 years ago for their BCM, using try-n-buy. Now, suddenly they are interested in it. I have found resellers where I can get the faxing software and the unified msg software, but I am still skeptical because the customer has Windows 7 and think there are compatibility issues.

A crazy idea came to me and I want to throw it out there. It seems to me that I could network a new BCM50 with the desktop faxing software and redirect the correct target lines from the BCM400 to the call pilot DNs on the BCM50 and let it handle the fax delivery to the customers outlook mailbox. Any ideas?

Is this this 3rd party software and have you used it? I saw that in a google search...what about my idea?

It's not so much the BCM as it is the desktop client that would complain about Windows 7. I've used the CallPilot client for the CS1000 version of CallPilot and it seems to work OK with Windows 7 and the BCM version of CallPilot. The desktop client connects to the BCM via IMAP to pull the voice messages and faxes to the PC. The BCM doesn't know or care what type of PC or OS is connecting to it. I've had customers running Linux that build an IMAP connector to the IP of their BCM to pull voicemails to the email client on their Linux machine and it works fine.
