   Our solution is simple, robust and versatile.   
      
   We use Paradox together with ActFax to do all of the things you want, and   
   more.  For example, you can tell ActFax to send the fax via modem or email   
   (with the fax as a pdf attachment).  ActFax can also receive and print   
   faxes.  We send/receive on average 70 faxes per day with virtually total   
   reliability.  Have been doing so for several years.   
      
   What's more, no oleauto required.  Just use Paradox to generate a simple   
   command string either in a text file or imbedded in the document, and ActFax   
   will do as requested.  We prefer the text file approach for 100%   
   reliability.  You can also attach data files to ActFax emails, though we   
   currently have no need for this feature.   
      
   Next to Paradox, ActFax is the finest software application I've ever seen.   
      
   If you want to implement ActFax, I'll be happy to help out.
