1241.0. "Fax Group-3 Modem, Software available?" by SUOSW3::GRAMMER () Mon Feb 10 1992 07:18

Software for "Fax Group 3" Modems
for	- send and
	- receive
wanted.

I look for a software, that 
1. converts e. g.
	- ASCII text files,
	- images (bitmap/pixel files, GEM)
	- 1stWordPlus documents including images
  into
	Fax Group 3  Format, and 
  sends this to a Fax-Modem connected to serial COM.

2. receives incoming Faxes, presents them on screen (convert Fax Format
to image), and optionally prints them.


I'm aware of a program "ST-Fax" of a company TKR, Kiel. But it is unsure if 
this works with their hardware only or with "all" Fax-Modems.
Ordering ST-Fax just for fun would be too expensive.

I've an IBISLINK 9624VAP, Modem and Fax-Modem.
Any help is appreciated.

    Hallo Alfons,
    
    the February 92 edition of ST-Computer has a description and an
    advertisement of a product called Q-Fax which is supposed to do what
    you want. From the description it has drivers already for
    CALAMUS,CyPress,ASCII, GEM.
    It's available including modem (for 495 DM) or separately (159DM).

Does this fax stuff need a special modem, or with the right software, 
can any modem send/receive a fax.

It needs a special modem.
1241.4STRAIGHT FAXPOWDML::STEILSat Oct 03 1992 14:0210
    I just ordered a copy of STRAIGHT FAX, a new product from some
    small software company in Pennsylvania, USA. It has drivers for
    Calamus, ASCII, .img files, etc.
    
    I'll report on it once I try it with my SUPRA 9600 baud fax modem.
    
    I'll dig out the address and phone number is anyone's interested.
