Thanks for your input. I agree with your comments. I was hoping for some solutions though.

Is there another faxing software that performs better?

Thanks,

Jerryt

We've been running it as a fax server for a couple of years now and I've noticed several consistently recurring problems that are not fixed by any of the suggestions that appear on the product support website. One of these is that it periodically forgets and/or changes user-defined settings all by itself. It forgets the sort order of its inbox or outbox logs, it suddenly starts demanding billing codes when people try to send faxes, it loses track of whether it's supposed to produce cover pages by default or not. (It also crashes if more than a two or three processes demand its attention at the same time, but that's another story. ;-) )
