  Faxing in Panther
Subject:   Optimism

Uh - this is a very optimistic view of the very rudimentary FAX capability of Panther. Many have noted the deficiencies of a FAX log; there are also few settings in a UI that might allow basic troubleshooting for the modem or phone connection. I have successfully sent and received one each, incoming and outgoing faxes. After that, I haven't been successful once, either direction. It was frustrating not to know when & if something was sent or received. Although I set the software to notify me by email on receipt, that function did not work; and the parameter for "speaker on/off" did not work (most likely because my iMac 500 modem does not support it?).


Not ready for prime time. A hacker's tool, but you can't rely on this FAX software.

    Ditto. I've been able to send one fax and receive two. Now nothing.

    Apple needs to work on this app.
