- Subject: I need a simple E-Mail to FAX solution

- We have PMDF and rely on it heavily to route all our mail from unix to VMS,
- distribution lists, mail to the Internet via DECUS UUCP etc. We are looking
- for a FAX via E-Mail solution so we would love to consider the PMDF FAX
- software.
-
- Here is my problem. We only run PMDF on a single node MAILER and only route
- those mail messages through MAILER that *have* to. Since installing PMDF on
- every node is prohibitive, I'm not sure that the PMDF FAX solution is the right
- way to go.
-
- We would prefer to keep things *very* simple and each solution we see out there
- is either way too complicated or requires that the software be installed on
- each and every system.
-
- Today we "borrow" a FAX solution (built into MR I think) that you can use by
- sending your mail message to a single address (we define an address called
- FAX), include the phone number(s) in the top of the mail message (the subject
- can be anything), and off it goes. What could be easier?
-
- Help me figure out a way to make PMDF FAX as easy to use :-).
