  12. Hi,
  13.  
  14. I am writing software that will utilize fax/modem boards to send/receive
  15. faxs and data files. Does anyone have a recomendation for
  16. the fax/modem boards... I want to buy boards that offer software that I can
  17. call from my FOXPRO2 program, and that I can get meaningfull completion
  18. status codes back from. Also, I would like to be able to setup the port/FAX
  19. and MODEM from my program. Any ideas ???
  20.  
  21. Example of how I would like to implement this in my app:
  22.  
  23.     status=setup("FAX",.....)
  24.     if !Status
  25.         @ 10,10 say "Unable to setup FAX, request aborted"
  26.         return .f.
  27.     endif
  28.  
  29.     status=send("FAX","file.dat","714-888-3233")
  30.         if !Status
  31.         do case
  32.             case status=BUSY
  33.                 .....
  34.             case status=NOANSWER
  35.                 .....
  36.             case status=INTERUPTED
  37.                 ....
  38.             case status=....etc...
  39.                 ....
  40.             otherwise
  41.                 ...
  42.         endcase
  43.     else
  44.         @ 10,10 say "Your FAX has been succesfully transmitted"
  45.     endif
  46.  
  47.                     Thanks for your help!
