Here's news about FAXPak Utilities version 5.2
==============================================
*** NEW FAX NUMBER
I have a new fax number: 303-651-1161 (Intel SatisFAXtion)
The FAXPak BBS now has an Intel 14.4EX modem on line which allows baud
rates from 1200 to 14,400 (v.32bis).
*** This minor update addresses the following items:
■ FPSTAT and FPMON recognize the newer Intel fax boards (200/400).
■ FPSEND now uses the newer, more efficient way of doing group sends. This
works when using the "FPSEND files @sendlist" mode. Instead of creating
a send event for EACH destination, a "group send" event is created which
results in less disk activity.
■ FPNEXT has a new option "-G" which will display each destination for
group send events. If you omit the "-G", only the group event is shown.
The newer Intel boards (200/400) come with a file translator that takes
the place of EP2DCX.EXE. This new translator can convert the following
file types:
Epson FX85 print files
HP LaserJet print files
ASCII text files
ASCII text using compressed font size
This new translator is called PRN2FAX.EXE and is normally located in your
C:\FAX directory. Here's how you might use this translator with FAXPak
Utilities Advanced Edition:
■ FPSEND myfile.txt 1-303-651-1161 -z "C:\FAX\PRN2FAX $I $O /A"
This translates the ASCII file 'myfile.txt' into a DCX file (each
output DCX file gets a unique file name), then faxes the DCX file.
The "/A" option on PRN2FAX use the ASCII file translation.
■ FPSEND myfile.pcl 1-303-651-1161 -z "C:\FAX\PRN2FAX $I $O /H"
This translates 'myfile.pcl' (which must be a file containing HP LJ III
printer codes). The "/H" option on PRN2FAX indicates an HP translation.
If you want to automatically DELETE the DCX files created by the translation
process, include the FPSEND "-X" option.
Using PRN2FAX allows you embed PCX images in your documents easily. See the
Intel fax board manual for specifics.
Here's news about FAXPak Utilities version 5.2
==============================================
*** USING FAXPAK UTILITIES WITH INTEL NET SATISFAXTION
In order to use FAXPak Utilities, FAXNODE must be loaded on the PC.
See Intel's documentation for specifics.
*** LICENSE REQUIREMENTS FOR USERS OF INTEL'S NET SATISFAXTION
All FAXPak Utilities are licensed for use on a single PC with a fax
card. If you are using Intel's Net SatisFAXtion product, you can
purchase a network license to use FAXPak Utilities Advanced Edition
on ALL PCs using a single Net SatisFAXtion fax server. The cost of
this special license is only $199.00! If you have more than two fax
users, you'll save big by purchasing the network license.
If you have multiple Net SatisFAXtion servers, you'll need to purchase
one FAXPak Utilities network license for each server.
*** FAXPak Support BBS
The FAXPak Support BBS is online 24 hours a day at 303-772-6778 with
an Intel 14.4EX modem. This allows modem access from 1200 to 14,400
baud (v.32bis).
*** PRINTING FAXPAK.DOC
This file can be printed on most any printer. Lots of laser printers
print 60 lines per page then perform a page feed. If your printer does
this, change the lines per page to 66 prior to printing otherwise you
will get extra pages.
*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***
If you are using a SatisFAXtion board or if you are using a Connection
Coprocessor with the "new" software (using CASMGR.EXE instead of CCAM.EXE)
you need to be aware of a possible problem when faxing out large numbers of
faxes.
CASMGR.EXE AUTOMATICALLY starts deleting logged faxes once the number of
log entries reaches 101. For example, if you set up a list of 150 faxes to
be sent out over a weekend, when you return on Monday morning, you will
find 101 log entries. The results of the first 50 faxes will be GONE!
You can turn on the "history" option in your SETUP.EXE program, but the
information saved in the history file is not as detailed as is found in
the normal fax log.
Here's news about FAXPak Utilities version 5.2
==============================================
FAXPak now includes a program called FPCONFIG.EXE which changes the cut-off
point for CASMGR.EXE. To run it, simply copy the program to the PC with the
fax board and run it. It will display the current "cut-off" setting and you
may then enter a higher number (for example 500). Once you have done that,
you MUST re-boot to have the new cut-off point take effect.
Note that users of CCAM.EXE DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS. In fact, FPCONFIG.EXE
will simply report that it can't find CASMGR.CFG.
User's of the newer Intel SatisFAXtion 200 and 400 will find they can
change this number using the fax board SETUP program, "Advanced Setup",
"Set up technical software options", "Number of log entries".
Don't make the new setting ridiculously high. Try to set it to a number that
suits your actual requirements. This does not change the fact that you should
NOT leave log entries to build up very high. The more log entries that your
fax board has to manage, the slower it will process.
