All Mac/Pan Office

[Mark Terry]

I'm about to set up a new office for my company. In the process we  
will be introducing Macs to a previously all-PC environment... my  
office of 3 people will be all-Mac, and we will have one more at the  
HQ, a Panorama Enterprise deployment that will be sharing a db over  
the net. I'm starting at ground zero... telephone, fax, copier,  
internet, etc.  Lots of water has gone over the dam since I did this  
last, nearly 10 years ago. I'd really like to be smart about it, in  
terms of integrating these items with each other, as well as Panorama.  
For example, what's the best way to have faxes go directly to disk...  
where each person has a fax/phone number, etc.? Do I need a phone  
system? Is there software/hardware I can get to do the job over the  
internet? I have access to Comcast, AT&T, and other internet/phone  
providers. Anything special, or particularly slick, available from  
those guys?

The task at hand is to monitor and guide the assembly of a large  
documentation package, for commercial loans, as requirements are  
determined, requested and ultimately received.  Many of the pieces  
will be of electronic format, but many will not, and will therefore  
need to be converted. (A fax to myself might work there!) Panorama  
will keep track of all that through a shared database over the net.  
Later, a pasword protected snapshot page will be published on the web,  
for interested parties to check status, etc. Hopefully, Panorama can  
also help with emails, document views, etc., and maybe more. Has  
anyone done this, or looked into it recently? If so, perhaps you can  
save me from a dozen or so sales guys, and vice-versa, and perhaps  
some Pan tips and/or pitfalls, as well.

Thanks,

M
