We are looking for some source code that will take an ASCII file and generate the data ready to send over a modem to remote fax machine. If you can, please post the source and let us know where. If anyone has any leads, but no source, let us know. Also, if someone has access to alt.fax, send this request on through. thanks tony goodloe ...!uucp!ingr!b11!goodloe

About a month back I made a request for some public domain fax software and got 30 or so mail responses, most of which were the "let me know when you find something" and the remainder were "we have a commercial product." I will assume that there is no public domain software to do this. We dug in to the fax market a litte more, and found more about the hardware. Most people are using a chip set from Rockwell that changes the modulation technique as the bit rate falls back. If you were certain that the bit rate would never fall back, you could possibly get away with using vendor x's V.32 modem, but no chance in a bit-rate agile environment. So, some entrepeneur needs to design a bit-rate agile fax modem in a box with an RS-232 interface and some generic c code. Hmmmm, sounds interesting :) Thanks to all who took time to send mail, sorry I couldn't come back with some real news though. tony goodloe

It didn't come with any documentation and it was only a binary file. So I couldn't figure out what to do with it. Or what hardware you needed. So it probably doesn't help you much, eh? But if anyone wants it, I found it on Deep Thought (I think) BBS at 919-471-6436. This was about 3 months ago, and I have since deleted the software. But it should still be on Deep Thought BBS (they have about 80 megs of downloads). I *think* the name was Amifax.arc Good Luck. -- John Sparks | {rutgers|uunet}!ukma!corpane!sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps ||||||||||||||| sparks@corpane.UUCP | 502/968-5401 thru -5406 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
