Subj : Insurance And More To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Jun 29 2020 11:10:00 Hi Daryl! DS> What was your first clue?? BM> Boith BTDT and dealing with customers. DS> You're suffering from fat fingers again, I see. Need to practice my keyboard landings. Bad enough when I try to auto- correct some Linux commands: it's 'systemctl', not 'systemctrl'. BM> Yes - I haven't needed to FAX anything (either direction) in I don't BM> know how long. Seems like PDF would be so much better but then there's BM> also the issue of the telephone companies generally being stubborn and BM> only guaranteeing their lines' data rate to 9600 baud. That is old BM> information, and only for voice/data lines - don't know about the DSL. DS> Well, with the setup, the program found the fax modem, and the DS> FAX/ARQ light is flashing (waiting for fax). I never had that DS> before, that I can recall...so, now I have to wait and see if DS> it'll work. "Dear Diary: Today I spent all day waiting for a FAX to arrive. So far disappointed, but not giving up hope!" BM> Probably some free/begware FAX utilities out there. Kitty!> OK, so Googled "sending a FAX online free": free app utility -- BM> looks like for cell phones and computers, though I'd be a hare wary of BM> that type of app, especiallyh when in the legal and medicate BM> information arenas. GMail will do (@FAX). DS> There was a utility with BGFAX called MAKEFAX. You could create DS> a "fax work file" in the MS-DOS Editor, then use MAKEFAX to DS> create the outgoing fax. I don't recall the name of the utility, DS> but it was with the US Robotics installation CD. I vaguely recall using something similar ages ago with the store. One of the ladies in the office needed something done - we're friends so I volunteered. No e-mail capabilities at the store for low-level individuals at the time but she was able to FAX, I just had to figure out how to receive a FAX with my modem - not too difficult. Made whatever updates, digitally FAXed back to the store FAX..... DS> it'll take FAX calls remains to be seen. BM> Publish your contact and find out!!! DS> (501) 502-3560 -- just the fax, please. I'll have to see what I can do here later. May end up looking all squished together: my upload is 150 Mbps last I checked, FAX is around 9600 baud (so 9600 bps). (150 Mbps is 150,000,000 bps.) All my data will be clamouring to get through all at once! DS> I had to log back on to the BBS, to find the bulletin with the DS> number. That's like me with my cell phone: I have used it occasionally to call back home but no need to call to me -- easier to get ahold of me/us via the landline, so what's the number of the cell?? Started needed it for waiting outside due to COVID-19. ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ¯ (Humans know what ® ¯ to remove.) ® .... "What's the use of happiness? It can't buy you money."
