Just the fax mam..

I didn't realize so much was going on with faxing! I think someone
should put together panel/presentation for CALIcon at Rutgers | Camden
in June to talk about what schools are doing and where this is headed.
The URL to submit session proposals is:
http://conference.cali.org/node/add/session. You'll need to login
using your CALI username and password to submit the proposal.

Thanks,
Elmer.

Hey Randy,

We're using Captaris RightFax
. This runs on a
Windows server (has to be a physical server), and integrates very well
into an Exchange/Outlook environment. The server just needs a line card
(like a Brooktrout TR1034+P4V4F-4L which has multiple incoming &
outgoing lines). We have a block of 100 DID numbers, and four phone
circuits, two of which are associated with the DID block for incoming
fax calls. We've been using RightFax for at least 6 years now. It's a
pretty solid product that needs very little attention. We have a
relationship with a good local VAR (Advanced Call Processing) that
performs upgrades and supports it when needed, which isn't too often.

We will be moving to a new campus in January 2011. This move comes
with a shiny and new Cisco VoIP phone system! We are exploring the
possibility of providing both staff and faculty a personal fax numbers.
Mostly to receive faxes, but the desktop capabilities to fax out would
be nice. We will have large multi-function printer/copier machines in
the new campus on each floor, but we may or may not allow outbound
faxing from them.... Still under discussion..

Today we use the small standalone fax machines spread around the
campus. Not really manageable by IT, analog phone lines all over
etc..

I've looked at eFax, but it is pretty expensive for our 150 users..

What are you using or what would you recommend...

We have been using Esker¹s VSI Fax for years.. (I¹d say its been ~8 years or
so).. Setup was expensive at the time (we paid around 2000 dollars for the
necessary hardware/software to handle the DID lines (to allow each user
their own number)). Ongoing costs are around 100 per month for two inbound
lines and numbers are available in blocks of 20 for 20 dollars per month.
The maintenance on the software is around 500 annum.

In all, we pay about 200 per month for our solution (60 numbers).. I¹d like
to cancel it, but it still gets a lot of usage.. We also use it for outbound
service.
