It baffles me that there is no log of faxes sent. You have to babysit a fax to find out if it went through, and even then you have to know to open the application to watch it. This is pretty crappy. This is inexcusable. The app is unusable until they add a log. Additionally, it should provide interactive information while the fax is in progress--without requiring you to "dig" to find it. Right now, FaxSTF is better. I still long for the days before Zoom bought and liquidated Global Village, abandoning the Mac in the process.

  It is possible to view the fax log at
  http://localhost:631/printers/Internal_Modem?which_jobs=completed

  What about "/var/log/fax"? I haven't sent a fax yet, but I ran "Console", clicked on "Logs", and in /var/log, there is a directory named "fax", which may create a log when you send faxes. I will experiment with it tomorrow, but you might check that out, too.

  Var/log/fax does not appear to log sent faxes. Need help here for this to be useful.

  TOTALLY agree. The lack of a fax log is a problem.

  I agree, though "PageSender" is arguably far better than the awful FaxSTF. FaxSTF looks and behaves like the freebie that came with your Windows 3.11 faxmodem.
  
  Oh wait, it *is* the same as that freebie.
