   Craig, We originally printed to the Winfax printer.  Each computer on our   
   network had its own install of winfax, and its own modem.  With many users   
   in the office, that setup became unacceptable.   
      
   So, we set up winfax server and paid a programmer to program oleauto for   
   winfax.  But that was quite expensive, and Symantec dropped support for   
   wWinfax's server capabilities and for oleauto.  The programmer moved   
   elsewhere and we were unable to replace him.   
      
   Finally, we replaced Winfax with Activefax, which we love.  It has robust   
   server and client capabilities.  You print to it like a printer, but it has   
   a kind of oleauto capability, and is simple to use and does not require   
   oleauto programming know-how so we can easily maintain it internally.  It   
   can send faxes as faxes, or can send them as PDF files.  It's easy to   
   install, setup and maintain.  It is extremely reliable.   
      
   We loved the Winfax interface, but it fell behind in its ability to meet our   
   needs.
