Free FAX software wanted...

smidoid · 05-25-2006, 04:22 PM

that would be GNU or Freeware; not the Bit Torrent variety. Arhum!

I've scoured my usual sources but I'm having some difficulty locating a decent piece of FAX software. The one in Windaz doesn't work for the purpose and the free one that came with the modem is <shudders> "free".

Ideally, I'd prefer one with client/server facilities so I can submit faxes from either computer on my network and not have to trudge upstairs in the middle of my coffee!

Actually, even a commerial offering would be OK, but I'd prefer to get to try it first and I like GNU software because it's often less problematical.

Would you like an order of fries with that, sir?

LOL!

no bit torrent, how about an Emule then?

Hurumph. [An impression of someone Ninong might know!]

No kazza, no Morpheus, no shareAza, no Warez, no Imesh, no bearShare, no eMule, no eDonkey and no eArmadillo either... and you should all be ashamed for suggesting such a thing. Humph.

No really, guys. Just something that works better than that detritus that they ship with cheap modems.

I made up the eArmadillo one, but you probably got that Mike.

You'll find most (if not all) of the dozens of different variants listed here mate:

For legitimate file sharing, I still prefer Limewire, but even that's got so thick with viruses and the like it's difficult to tell the clownfish from the reef.
