- I need recommendations on fax and scanner software and hardware
- systems for use on a Sun SPARCstation 2.
-
- I have been asked to propose an integrated data collection /
- dissemination system using fax and scanner technology on a Sun
- SPARCstation 2 system.
-
- We will receive data via paper-mail, e-mail, fax, and on disks which
- we will organize and store in some common format (if possible). This
- information will contain mostly text with a couple of simple line
- drawings of laboratory apparatus or graphs. This
- information will be retrieved via paper-mail, e-mail, or fax, or
- possibly viewed on-screen.
-
- We would also like to send e-mail to a mailing list and have the mail
- sent electronically to those we have e-mail addresses for, by fax for
- those whom we have fax numbers but no e-mail address, and by
- paper-mail for the rest.
-
- Our staff has shell script, awk, and perl experience and would
- be able to write whatever filters, etc.. are needed to tie things
- together, as long as the fax and scanning software/hardware had
- command line interfaces.
-
- I need recommendations on FAX and scanner hardware and software
- we should consider. What have you had good experience with? What did
- you buy? How has it worked? What do you recommend for my application?
-
- Thanks for your help; I will summarize responses.
