I have an Intel Dialogic VFX41JCTLS board on which I have the possiblity of
using 4 telephone lines as a fax.
I also have the Pronexus Vbvoice development library that lets me send faxes
by creating a VB2005 program.
Currently I have a program running that is an IVR developped using the
Pronexus library in VB2005. That works fine.
that program can send text files that it generates itself and send them out.
That works OK.
So here's the question. What would I need to do to allow users on the
network to send faxes from their office or other applications?
I'm thinking as long as I have physically available four fax lines, why not
make it useable for everyone in the office and save on other fax equipment?
I'm thinking creating a "pseudo printer driver" where I could select my
network fax outbound folder as a printer destination where my Lan Users when
selecting that printer would in fact see a dialog asking them for the phone
number and if they want a cover page, enter that info and then click print,
which in reality would just send a coupe of files to the outbound fax folder
on the server (a header file with the telephone info and the actual tiff
file containing the fax). My vb program could be sitting on the server and
poll the folder looking for incoming files and then treat them as needed to
send the fax. Maybe there's a better, simpler way. Has anyone any experience
with using the dialogic Gamalink faxes on these type of multi-line cards?
Any input would be appreciated.
