FWRDFAX 9.5 BETA
==============================================================================
Q. What is FWRDFAX ?
A. FWRDFAX is a fax utility program that works with *BGFAX* (by B.J. GUILLOT)
that lets you Forward any fax to another location.
Q. What will this do for me ?
A. Suppose you are expecting a fax from a friend,a business,or travel agent
your computer from home or office is to receive the call and you are at
another location and need the fax ASAP well just tell FWRDFAX the fax
number of the destination and it will do the rest.
Q. I don't want all my fax's forwarded only the important ones.
A. You can create a file which contains the phone numbers which FWRDFAX
will scan and if that number is listed it will not forward that fax.
Q. My system is only on certain hours to receive fax's.
A. No problem tell FWRDFAX to hold your fax's and what time you wish to have
them forwarded.
Q. Is this all done automatically ?
A. Yes and No. If you are using *BGFAX* and have it setup for events then yes
it will.(Read * BGFAX'S * Manual for information regarding events and
operation).
FWRDFAX has to be called by an external event in order to operate
properly.Which can also be done via *BGFAX* most Front end mailers, BBS
programs or an event timer.FWRDFAX was designed to work with *BGFAX* as
an add on utility not as a free standing program. *BGFAX* does all of
the sending and receiving FWRDFAX just tells *BGFAX*the name of the
fax to send and the number to send it to.
Q. What if I want to save copy of the fax that will be forwarded ?
A. When you tell FWRDFAX that you want a fax forwarded it copies the fax
with an *.REC extension keeping the original fax intact.It tells
*BGFAX* to send the fax's with the .REC extension and once sent it
is automatically removed.
Q. Is FWRDFAX free ware or what?
A. FWRDFAX is time ware,which means it is fully functional to a preset date
then if you have not registered your copy then it will simply quit working
Q. Ok I want to try it.How hard is it to setup ?
A. By running the config.exe program you should have it installed in less
than 5 minutes.
