GoBruins,
Is there any possibility of your real name as an auto signature. Just easier? I have used at least four different fax servers each costing upwards of $700.00 a piece. I have a Brooktrout board sitting here -- no pdf.
Mainpine has great customer support. I have a two channel Mainepine, Sandeep a one channel. It's a little overkill as you need two lines, but it assures that you never miss a fax due to sending and one trying to come in.
Please remember, depending on your MFC, you may already have a fax server. MFCs like Toshiba, Xerox, Muratec, HP, Dell etc. not only have the regular inboard fax that allows "walkup" faxing, you can add a fax server or it all comes with it. Think of any fax server as being able to fax from a desktop.
The other key to faxing from any fax server is the GUI at each client. I will never forget the faces when the Toshiba company installed our Toshiba ($7,000) only to have me tell them to take it back. Why? The GUI and number of clicks for sending faxes were ridiculous. They never understood. Why? Because too many of these companies don't use end users or doctors or whatever in product and development.
Our Xerox has everything, but we have not added the $300 fax server, which would do the same thing.
So, we added the fax board to the server. The Windows Fax and Scan is nice, because you can easily see what faxes you have sent and received and watch it send successfully. It's nice to put a quick comment such as Smith, Jones so you and everyone can see it if you give them permissions. The cover page is automatic or you can build your own, and each user can choose their own or select from a central suppository on the server.
Sandeep is a computer genius and will make everything seem easier than it is. You have to enable the fax role on the server (easy), but there are a few places to set up the lines. That is where support can help. They can remote in and set it up in abou 20 minutes and you can send faxes back and forth.
Also, you sound small right now, but if you see yourself becoming the next Kaiser Permanente any time soon, consider a two-line board. Or 3, or 4, or 8, lol.
