All Mac/Pan Office

[Ken Doucet]

Terry, re inbound faxes - I have found a terrific service that charges $1 a
month to handle all your inbound faxes. You are provided with a phone number
and the faxes sent to it are automatically forwarded to an email account.
The number is a Seattle 206 area code. The number can also be used for voice
mail. They also provide outbound for fee services.

If you absolutely need to route separate inbound faxes to separate email
accounts then just set up multiple accounts.

I have been using this for a few years and the service works perfectly.

Anyway, it sure is cheaper than setting up inbound lines, as long as you
don't mind dealing with an inbound Seattle number.

Quotes from website.

"Your callers may leave a message up to five full minutes in length. There
is a 1Mb limit on the size of a fax message received; it can be multiple
pages, generally limited to 30-40 pages."


"You can check for messages two different ways!

On the web: Your messages can be checked on the Web. Log into your own
Faxaway account. Your messages are stored here and no one else has access.
It's also a great way to get messages when you're traveling, since you save
on all those long-distance calls.

In your email: Another way to get your faxes and voicemail is to have it
sent to your email account. Voice messages are in ".WAV" format and faxes in
".TIF" so no special software is needed to hear or view them. Each message
includes the date and time of the call. In the subject line of your email is
the phone number of the caller (provided their ID is not turned off). You
will hear the exact message that was left - in the voice of the person who
called."

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
