[gui-talk] speaking of Open Book's FAX utility

[Joel Deutsch]

Albert, what I meant was that I was told that it could not transmit or 
receive faxes using a DSL connection. Literally. I didn't mean that it was 
agonizingly slow, or anything. They said if I wanted to use it, I had to 
disconnect my DSL modem and phone conection, change it around to use 
dial-up, which I don't even know how to do on this scomputer, and after all 
that, I could use the FAX functions. No thank you, is what I'm saying.
I didn't

The fax utility in K1000 is sent at the speed of a dial up connection even
though you're connected as a DSL. user.  The built in modem in most
computers will work just fine.

| Well, mine can't even *send* faxes. I tried to set it up, and followed all
| the steps as I was supposed to, but then found out-- and this was
confirmed
| for me by someone either on a mailing list like this or on the phone to
FS,
| I forget which-- that the FAX utility in OB can't work through a broadband
| connection,which is what I'm using. It can only use dial-up. That is hard
to
| believe, but then this program is something of an orphan "legacy"
| application for FS,, I believe, since they acquired it from Arkenstone,
and
| it's got all sorts of archaic, obsolete and goofy stuff going on with it.
| Fortunately for me, it isn't very often that I really need to fax out or
| receive a fax, with no alternative. May I ask why having fax capability
| matters so much if one is losing one's hearing, to put it politely (I've
| lost most hearing on one ear due to a benign tumor on that vestibular
| nerve)? I may be missing something, like a brain, but I didn't get how
this
| helped, to have fax capability.

| Ah yep, its always marvelous when you can do something like that and
| I wouldn't be without my fax particularly now that my hearing is near
| to gone.
| I've used a number of different fax applications including Winfax and
| all have had their strengths and weaknesses as pieces of software do
| but I know I'm really going to celebrate when I finally work out how
| to send faxes with the Mac's built-in fax software. <smile>.
| I had bagged K1000 on this list and I take back a few poitns of what
| I said. One of the really nice things I do like about K1000 however
| is its built-in fax utility, the people at Kurzweil have done a
| really neat job with this and its perfectly fitting for the K1000
| application to have this utility particularly when it can be set up
| to receive faxes as well, that's more than can be said for Open Books
| fax utility which I'm told can only send faxes, howe useful is that
| <smile>.
| Finally on the subject of faxes, the best way to send and receive
| faxes I've found is through a dedicated fax machine, I have one of
| the HP variety which intergrates with the computers on the network
| here and that opens up a whole range of faxing possabilities.
