Suppose you have a Fax-modem and you want to receive a fax late at night or during your absence. Up to now the only way to do this was to keep your Mac running at all times.
No longer.
PreFax is a piece of hardware that enables soft power on/off Macs to be turned on when the attached modem receives a telephone call (or fax call).
The Après Fax control panel shuts down the Mac after a designated period of time if the Mac was brought to life by the modem.
Together PreFax and Après Fax can be used as an unattended fax receiving machine.
New in version 2.0
Après Fax can now tell an extension manager (not included) to only load the extensions necessary to receive faxes. PreFax 2.0 fixes a problem on newer Macs. Newer Macs, and those running system 7.5.1 and up, can be shut down by pressing the power key on the keyboard. This had an annoying side effect with the original Prefax hardware. This version contains a fix.
