- I was asked to summarize to the net, and was not quite ready to do so, but
- here goes:
-
- If you have an HP9/800 and want to fax from it. RUN, do not walk to the phone
- and call Devcom. the number is 708-574-5066.

- the TruFax product is fantastic. It has been a long time since i was so excited
- about a new piece of software. We had them ship us an everex modem as well
- and from day one, this has been functional. It has a clever user interface as
- well as a collection of 2 dozen programs to manipulate fax images. It comes
- with Ghostscript to let you fax out postscript files, it has a ljIII emulator
- to let you fax out HPCL. an X windows client allows you to view faxes on the
- workstation. you can set up a modem to fax out only, in only, in and out for
- faxes, or in and out and a command if non-fax modems dial it (getty(1m) for
- example...)
-
- I spent one day 'playing' with it, and another day writing a printer model for
- it. lots of fun. It comes with a 30 day trial, but I was so overjoyed, that
- after one day I went to the admin people and told to sent out money immediatly.
-
- why haven't you called in your order yet?
