[gui-talk] this fax thing

[tribble]

Hi Joel --
Ok, le stands for Laura Eaves, which you can see is part of my email 
address.
tribble is the name of a little furry creature in one episode of the 
original star trek series. Tribbles made a pleasant sound under favorable 
conditions, and screeched when in the presence of Klingons.  They also had 
the unfortunate attribute of reproducing by eating, and so they would 
explode into a huge colony in the presence of food.
(Gosh, and I only get fat...*groan*)
I have been saying for months that i should really get a different name, but 
everyone seems to remember tribble, however stupid it is.
Cheers and avoid those klingons!
--le

Right. So for an incoming fax, I'd nearly always send it to print on my
printer. And then if I wanted to read what information I could on it, minus
graphical non-text things,I'd scan what I'd printed so that I could keep it
as a file on my computer.

Okay. A little unwieldy, but so is this slight annoyance of losing my
vision, for gosh sakes. :-)

And Tribble or LE, whatever that stands for, sorry to have left typo
detritus beneath my last message. My bad. Bad bad bad.

The proprietary format being that of Open Books docs in the current version,

you must mean, or my choice. But only printing on the printer will give me a

copy with some semblance of whatever pen or pencil marks, handwriting,
signature, etc. may be on it if it ctually needs to be presented to someone
sighted, you know?  Not just kept on my PC as "information?"

. So that's good to know. If I'd need the incoming thing to go into a file
in my actual (metal) file cabinet with hanging folders), I'd print. If I
also wanted to be able to refer to it myself on my computer, I'd also keep
it as a computer file in whichever format please me. Or, if that would
require receiving it twice, I could print it out and then scan the printed
copy in Open Book, and it would save as a text file, minus of course the
handwritten signatures and checked check boxes and the like.

You can elect to print out or save your documents like others in your
computer.  They're usually saved in a proprietary format but you can change
that.

You mean my printer will print out what someone may send me if I learn how
to work the function? Wow, that's neat. I mean, as seldom as I'd really use
it, it's still neat. I'm gonna fix all that up soon with the splitter, and
spend a little time to learn how to use the Open Book function. Thanks.

That's it. A splitter. Now I remember. I'll get that fixed up one of these
days. I suppose that will certainly allow me to fax out, using my flatbed
scanner, but would it allow someone to fax me something that would print out

on my laser printer ? Not really sure it matters to me as much as being able

to fax something out now and then, but just curious. The only time I used
fax very much when my sight wasn't an issue was when I was working as a
public relations writer for several different companies and clients, and
this was before the age of email, so that's how everyone in business passed
written material, drafts of work, etc., back and forth. That was years ago.
It's just a small inconvenience for me maybe once or twice a year that I
don't have a fax machine as I did in those years gone by. Sorry to have
gotten overwrought about it.

All you need is a splitter and a phone wire with those plugs on each end so
you can run a line from the splitter to the fax modem.  A couple bucks and
you're a living fax man coo coo ka chew.
You are the fax man.  I am the fax man.

I have plenty of filters on the ends of my phone lines and stuff. But I've
also got DSL and a router and someone said, I think, that I have to do
something to get around that in order to use the phone line for the modem
temporarily instead of it being commandeered by the DSL modem. I got the
filters and all that stuff, though.

but if this would work for me, see, that'd be like having a "real" fax
machine. That's all I really want, now and then.

It's not hard.  You need to make sure you have a fax modem in your computer
and that it's enabled.  You also need these little filter thinggies, less
than a dollar at Radio shack if you don't have them  and then you need a
person with a fax capable set up to which you can fax a few times to get
things right.

I've got Open Book, a scanner,and I'm pretty sure my computer has a fax
modem right in some slot that I happen not to use because I have a DSL
Internet connection.  So as far as I know, I don't need some Cloud-based
service to fax something. I just need someone to explain correctly how to
set things up so that I'll bypass my dsl modem when I want to in order to
fax something using my scanner and Open Books' scan function!

Someone once said something rather complicated about hooking up all kind  of

stuff every time tyou do this,and then someone told me that wasn't right and

it wasn't such a complicated thing to do.
But how?
