These are all nice solutions but my faxes will be automated from a list in a database table. Therefore, I will need to know if the fax did not go through (i.e.: Boolean variable) so that the program will know to try the fax at another time, or to check off the ones that went through as completed. Any ideas how to do this with FaxServer object?

I haven't seen it before.. I'll take a look at it.

These are also solutions (but not free)

The first solution is very expensive and overkill, the second I believe is na internet fax service.

Does anyone know how to code using fas server object?
