Fax machines seem to be the popular rage. Here are some posts from CIS
telling how to use your ST as a fax machine - many of the replies are
compiled from 2-3 posts...
From Pattie Rayl (Atari Interface Magazine)...
I suggest the Joppa Faxmodem. It's really good, and I use mine all the
time both with Flash (As a modem) and PageStream (as a Fax machine).
You can contact Joppa Computers at (800) 876-6040. They are the ones
who created the software for the Joppa Fax. The cost, last I knew, was
$169. I could have been lowered recently.
Joppa Fax can take text, pics or documents out of PageStream and
Calamus. It connects to your ST just like a regular modem does. It's
really very simple!
From Bob Retelle (Sysop)...
...to expand on what Pattie said about the Joppafax modem system. The
software included with the modem converts a disk file into a fax com-
patible file which is then transmitted by the modem..
The original file can be an ASCII text file or a Pagestream document
(among other types), and the receiving end will get an exact duplicate
of the file. That means you could do up a fancy page with fonts and
graphics, and send it by faxmodem, and they'll get it just as if you'd
laser printed it for them.
From John Davis (Sysop)...
Believe it or not, I primarily use JoppaFax for that very reason - I
can print a PageStream document to disk and xmit it to my Fax faster
than I can print it on the printer! Pretty useful when I've got one of
those particularly complex files that takes *forever* to print
normally.
I use a NEC Pinwriter - it takes about 20 minutes to print a full
page. Printing to a disk file is much faster and I can send it to the
FAX in just a few minutes.
The resolution isn't as good - my printer is 'supposed' to be 360x360,
but it appears less than that. I believe the FAX is somewhere in the
200's. The blacks are much blacker, though, just like with a laser, so
it actually looks better than the dot matrix for some types of
documents.
