Faxing from CF

[programmher]

I have to implement a way for my users to fax information from my site to various clients.

Has anyone ever tried and accomplished this? Is this even possible?

Haven't tried any of these, but maybe this will get you started:

Hey Programmer,

I had to implement a faxing solution at my last job to replace an aging system that wasn't very stable. I eventually settled on a product called Active Fax (

http://www.actfax.com/)

which worked well for us. The customer support was always very responsive and the product was a lot more flexible IMO than some of the other larger faxing solutions such as Gold Fax. Basically, we setup CF to write out an ascii file to a directory which Active Fax scanned. Whenever Active Fax saw a text file in this directory, it would automtically merge it with a graphic template (specified in the text file) to produce a professional quality fax. As I remember, you could send a fax to Active Fax via e-mail, FTP, text file, and a few other ways if I remember correctly. I believe it would also output fax results to a database.
