[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga as a FAX machine

perretg@cernvax.UUCP (perretg) (11/02/88)

Computer with a modem can replace a TELEX system, do you know of
implementation of a FAX machine on any computer ?
The Amiga would be a good choice for such a use thanks to its
graphic performances.
It would be possible to send almost any where in the world
computer generated graphics without going through a printed
copy, keep a data-base of the all the received and sent FAXs
and so one and so forth.....
Do you know of scanner devices (Cheap) running on Amiga's ?

     I don't know of anything for the Amiga, but there are several fax
boards available for the PC-clones.  They allow you to send text and
graphics files to fax machines.  They allow you to receive graphics from
fax machines (text comes in as scanned graphics).
