Presently we are using a standalone fax for the office handling about 100 send/receives a day and would like to add the ability for all clients to fax from their desktops. We also need to do some fax broadcasting and are looking for advice on what route (software and hardware) we should take. Our intent is to use MS Access as the data source and merge with Word. <br />
<br />
Platform:<br />
SBS 2000<br />
Office 2003<br />
10 clients<br />
<br />
After researching, it seems the most reasonable and viable choices are GFI Faxmaker and the MT5634ZBA-V92 modem. &nbsp;The Brooktrout modems are out of my $$ league. The MultiTech modem is supported by GFI and is $150.00. <br />
<br />
My questions are:<br />
Is this is overkill for our needs or is there is a better or cheaper software / hardware solution?<br />
Would the built in SBS Fax server fit our needs?<br />
Should I setup a computer as a dedicated fax server?<br />
Thoughts on the MultiTech Modem- anything better?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
