32bit Fax, FaxMail for Windows and FaxMail Network for Windows are very
similar with the same look and feel. 32bit Fax and FaxMail Network for
Windows are 32bit and will run on a single computer or network system. If
you need a 16 bit single computer version, try FaxMail for Windows.

If you are going to be using FaxMail Network for Windows on a 16bit
version of Windows such as Windows 3.1x or Windows for Workgroups, you
will need to install Win32s, if you have not already done so. You can get
Win32s.zip, FREE, from Microsoft or search the web, www.ElectraSot.com,
aol, or CompuServe. Win32s allows 16bit Windows to run some 32bit
programs.

FaxMail adds a [FaxBar] to all your Windows Programs

If you can print, you can fax

All the Fax Machines in the world are your printers with FaxMail Network
for Windows

DESCRIPTION:
FaxMail supports Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/3.1x with Win32. Supports
most FaxModems, Group 3 CLASS 1, CLASS 2 and CLASS 2.0. FaxMail Network
for Windows will add a [FaxBar] to your Windows Programs, giving you
access to all the FaxModems and FaxMachines in the world, making them
become your printers. FaxMail attaches itself to and becomes a part of the
actual Microsoft Windows environment, thereby adding its features to all
Windows Applications. FaxMail has hundreds of useful features such as
Dynamic View/Edit Cover Page, FaxBook Import/Export, Windows Dynamic All
Class FaxModem Driver, and Technical Support. You can import up to 1000
name and phone numbers into each FaxBook (Phone Book) at a time from any
xBase data base program, and you can have as many FaxBooks as you want.
FaxMail gives you laser quality fax output, making it a great tool to send
an occasional fax or large numbers of high quality faxes from the
background while you work on other tasks. FaxMail bundles the most useful
fax features, and it is fast! The simplicity of information transfer via
FaxMail Network for Windows is unequaled. It is a faxmail management
system, integrating FaxModem technologies into computer document
generation. You can create very short and/or long faxes. Workstation 1
must have a modem and access to the root of a common server drive. All
other workstations must have access to the root of that same common server
drive. Workstation 1 receives all fax and can route them to the in-boxes
of the other workstations. All workstations put their outgoing faxes in
the queue of workstation 1.

Sites around the world. fax_n924.zip, where fax_n924 means version
n9.24.01.

If you have a problem that is not covered here, contact ElectraSoft at
281-261-0307 because most likely there is either a solution to your
problem, or a newer version of FaxMail Network for Windows that does not
have the problem.


LEGAL INFORMATION:
If you have a Registration Code for FaxMail Network for Windows you may
*NOT* share it with others.

FaxMail Network for Windows is shareware. This means you have a chance to
test the performance of FaxMail Network for Windows before committing
yourself to buying it. FaxMail Network for Windows is a Shareware product
and we would like you to REGISTER after testing this 30 day evaluation
copy.

Only the unregistered version of FaxMail Network for Windows may be
distributed freely, and no fee may be charged for it except a nominal
copying fee. All trademarks contained herein are registered to their
respective owners.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
While converting printer output to a fax, FaxMail will need to create and
use a temporary file called [TOFAX] and then delete it when finished. This
file will be in the root of the drive FaxMail is installed on.

So that ElectraSoft Print to Fax will be able to convert printable files
to faxes, you may want to check the following three things on the drive
that you installed FaxMail on:

 1. If you have the maximum allowed files in that root directory, remove
    some.

 2. If you have a directory called TOFAX on that drive, remove it.

 3. If that drive is full, make some room. The fax converter needs
    about 200k per page. Keep in mind that Windows itself may need
    5meg+- free on the hard drive.

If you are currently using another Modem-Program, remember that they can
not run concurrently on the same COM-Port. Disabling a fax program may
be as easy as not loading it or you may have to remove one or more lines
from your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI. Typing rem
ahead of a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS will disable it.
Example:

      change:
    C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLFAXPRG.EXE
      to:
rem C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLFAXPRG.EXE

To disable a line in an *.INI (WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI) file, place a ;
before the line to be commented-out. Example:

   change:
 C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLD_FAX_PRG.EXE
   to:
;C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLD_FAX_PRG.EXE

If your old Fax Program loads from the Windows StartUp Group as you enter
Windows, you will have to move it's ICON out of your Windows StartUp Group
by grabbing it and dropping it in another Group.

WINDOWS NT version 4.XX

Adding the [ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax] to Windows NT:

During the FaxMail installation, the [ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax]
?:\TOFAX port is added to the available Windows Printer Ports. Where the
? is the drive you installed FaxMail on. However, the ?:\TOFAX port will
not be available until after rebooting the computer. For this reason, the
[ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax] will be created and added to your available
Printer Drivers in the Printers Group the first time you run FaxMail. If
for some reason the [ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax] is not created, you can
create it yourself using the follow method.

  1. FaxMail should have put the following lines in your NTPRINT.INF
     file. You can move them into alphabetical if you wish, but it is
     not necessary.
     FaxMail added this 1 line: (under [Manufacturer] sections)
[Manufacturer]
"ElectraSoft"

     FaxMail added these 2 lines: (under Model sections)
[ElectraSoft]
"ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax" = FM_PN_NT.DLL

     FaxMail added these 3 lines: (under Installer Sections)
[FM_PN_NT.DLL]
CopyFiles=@FM_PN_NT.DLL,RASDD
DataSection=RASDD_DATA

        copping fm_pn_nt.dll, NT will try to copy the RASter Devise
        Driver rasdd.dl_ or rasdd.dll, but because rasdd.dl_ is not in
        this directory, a Copy Error box will appear. Place your NT
        installation CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive and click [Browse].
        Browse to your CD-ROM and select: ?:\I386\rasdd.dl_ by

         you are asked for file(s), including the fm_pn_nt.dll file; as
         the files it wants to copy to your HardDrive are probably already
         there.
        Note:
         Files used by the ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax FM_PN_NT.DLL driver:
         ?:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\2\RASDD.DLL

  4. Select OK.

  5. You will be asked for the Windows NT installation floppies or
     CD-ROM.

     Note:
      o In most cases all the printer files are already in place. If
        this is the case, give C:\ (or the drive that you installed
        FaxMail to) as your NT installation disk.

     NT expects to find FM_PN_NT.DLL on your floppies or CD-ROM, but it
     will not be there because this driver only comes with FaxMail. The
     FaxMail installation has already put FM_PN_NT.DLL in place, so it is
     not necessary for NT to do so. For this reason you will get a
     [non-critical error] when NT can not find FM_PN_NT.DLL on your
     floppies or CD-ROM. When you are presented with a non-critical
     error, select [Ignore]. NT will ignore coping FM_PN_NT.DLL, but
     will copy the printer driver support files that it does have.
     During installation, FaxMail creates the following files:
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     If for some reason they are not there, copy them there from the
     unzipped files that came with FaxMail.


  Notes:
   o During the [ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax] installation, in response to
     [non-critical errors], select [Ignore].

   o The reason for this unorthodox installation is that NT expects to
     find the driver, FM_PN_NT.DLL, on your NT installation floppies or
     CD-ROM for the purpose of copping it. When NT can not find
     FM_PN_NT.DLL, it will display a [non-critical error]. In response
     to this non-critical error you will respond [Ignore]. NT will
     continue and put the following printer driver support files on your
     HardDrive:
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\RASDD.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\RASDDUI.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\RASDD.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\RASDDUI.DLL

   o When you have successfully installed ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax,
     there will be more than one copy of FM_PN_NT.DLL on your HardDrive.
     They will be in, at least, the following directories.
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     Do not delete any of them. NT needs them all. FaxMail will also
     put the following in your SYSTEM directory:
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\FM_PN_NT.DLL

   o When installing an upgraded version of FaxMail Network for Windows,
     check to be sure the following files are updated.
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\FM_PN_NT.DLL
     You can find all instances of FM_PN_NT.DLL and FM_PN_NT.DRV by going
     to the DOS prompt and typing:
     C:                    {Or the drive where NT is.
     CD\                   {Move to the root-directory.
     DIR FM_PN_NT.* /S /P  {List directories containing FM_PN_NT.DLL,DRV.

   o Yoshi Morioka of Japan says:

     I found that Japanese printers are using rsddfeui and rasddfe
     instead of rasddui and rasdd as in the US version.

     I changed the printer.inf [Options] section from:
       "ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax"=rasddui, fm_pn_nt, rasdd
     to:
       "ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax"=rsddfeui, fm_pn_nt, rasddfe
     and specify the location of the following files that are specified
     in [Files-Printer...] sections. They are in
       c:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\rsddfeui.dll
       c:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\fm_pn_nt.dll
       c:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\rasddfe.dll
       c:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\rsddfeui.cnt
       c:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\rsddfeui.hlp

     AND IT WORKED!!!

  2. Open the [Main Group] and select [Control Panel].

  3. Select [Ports], select [Add] or [Settings] to add your new modem
     or reconfigure to fit your need.

  Note:
    The following chart is the normal possibilities, and may help you
    while in the [Ports] setup procedure:

     COM Port Number:  Interrupt ReQuest Line:  Base I/O Port Address:
                    |                        |                       |
      +-------------+                        |                       |
      |    +---------------------------------+                       |
      |    |                    +------------------------------------+
      |    |                    |
      COM1-IRQ4                 03F8
      COM2-IRQ3                 02F8
      COM3-IRQ5, IRQ7 or IRQ2   03E8
      COM4-IRQ5, IRQ7 or IRQ2   02E8

     If you have a sound card, it may be using IRQ5 or IRQ7. A CD-ROM
     usually uses one of the IRQs above IRQ7.


MIXING DATA VOICE FAX:

On the subject of Data/Voice/Fax:

Solution 1:
One phone - two phone numbers. Contact your phone company and order
[Distinctive Ring]. Distinctive Ring is another number that rings in on
your same phone, at a very low cost. When someone dials your regular
phone number, you will hear a 3 second RING (long RING) every 6 seconds
start-to-start. When someone (or a fax machine) dials your [Distinctive
Ring] number, you hear 2 short RINGs every 6 seconds start-to-start in the
place of your normal long RING.

Be sure you are running a current version [FaxMail Network for Windows]
or [32bit Fax]. Go to the ElectraSoft fax software [Configure], select
[Configure Modem], and set [Type of RINGs to Answer] to [(X)Distinctive
Rings Only]. Give everyone that you want to fax you your [Distinctive
Ring] fax number. Now the fax software will only answer the faxes, and
not interfere with your voice calls. If you also have an answering
machine connected; set the answering machine to answer on RING 3 or above.

Solution 2:
Go to the ElectraSoft fax software Setup/Configure and set
[Rings-Until-We-Answer] to [Never]] so the fax software will not answer.
If you answer the phone and find that it is a fax, load the Event Monitor
and click the [Answer Now] button. When you here the modems negotiating,
hang up and let the fax come it.

Solution 3:
To learn about the Supra [Silent Answer] function, go to the www-page
listed below and download FaxMail. Included with it is a README, Q and A,
and Manual the cover this subject in GREAT detail.

Solution 4:
CommShare not only listens for the fax-tone but also for a code that you
can ask the sender to use. This way you do not miss the fax calls from
the 20% of fax machines that do not send the fax-tone:-) I bought a
CommShare at Best Buy.

Solution 5:
A modem and phone-line for each function.

Note:
Modems are inexpensive...Get two modems. Run one phone-line from wall to
Fax-Modem's Line-In-Jack, and another phone-line from said Fax-Modem's
Phone-Jack to Email/Data/Etc-Modem's Line-In-Jack.


SILENT ANSWER:
Silent Answer requires the support and cooperation of the remote sending
FaxModem/Machine with your receiving FaxModem. If the sending
FaxModem/Machine does not support [Silent Answer] by sending the [CNG]
tone, you will lose that Fax! Please read *all* of this area before
using [Silent Answer]. If you still want [Silent Answer], here is what
it does and how to implement it.

Silent answer let one telephone line be used for two purposes; receiving
Faxes with the FaxModem, and receiving voice calls with an answering
machine or telephone. When set to this mode, the FaxModem lets your
answering machine answer all incoming calls. If it detects Fax [CNG]
tones, it routes the call to FaxMail Network for Windows. Otherwise, it
just sits silently on the phone line while you or your answering machine
takes the call.

When the phone rings and after the second ring the FaxModem will start
monitoring the telephone line. If it detects a Fax tone, it will receive
the Fax. If it does not detects a fax tone, it will do nothing.

Silent Answer hardware installation When installing the FaxModem, DO NOT
plug the answering machine into the telephone jack on the back of the
FaxModem. Instead, do one of the following:

a. Plug the answering machine and FaxModem into different wall jack (i.e.
   jacks in different rooms).

b. Plug the answering machine into a wall jack and the FaxModem into the
   answering machine.

c. If your answering machine has some kind of phone-jack switching; use
   this method. You must locate the two devices on separate extensions
   to make silent answer work correctly. This means you can not plug the
   answering machine into the FaxModem or vise versa. You can split a
   single extension with a duplex jack adapter. Radio Shack commonly
   carries these, part number 279-357 for $4.49.

Also, if you have an older answering machine that does NOT automatically
turn itself off when it detects that a person or the FaxModem has
answered the call, you need a $7.95 adapter from Radio Shack,
part#43-107. This adapter disconnects the answering machine from the
phone line when the call is answered. It goes between the answering
machine and the wall jack.

 Note:
 The device that is picking up the line initially, must answer after, and
 not before, the second ring. This means you should set it to 3 for best
 results. If no other device picks up the line by the time the number of
 rings that FaxMail Network for Windows is set to is reached, FaxMail
 Network for Windows will answer it and process a Fax.


To activate Silent Answer
Load the FaxMail Network for Windows [FaxMail] program and click on the
[Configure] Button and on the Silent Answer [Check] Button. Set the
number of rings until we answer to four and set your answering-machine to
three rings. If the Silent Answer [Check] Button is inactive and gray,
your FaxModem does not support Silent Answer.


USING MODEM TESTER:

Definition:
COM-Port/FaxModem Tester. Modem Tester will generate a log and a text log
file called Modem???.TXT that you can read later. This log can be emailed
to ElectraSoft for analyses.

Usage:
 Find COM-Port FaxModem.

FaxModem INSTALLATION:
 Notes:
 1. To stay safe when removing/replacing hardware, always turn your
    computer off and unplug it.
 2. To reduce the possibility of damaging electronic components in your
    computer with [static potentials] when removing/replacing hardware,
    place one hand on the metal chassis before removing/replacing
    hardware.

Read [USING MODEM TESTER] first...

(IMPORTANT: Read but don't do this unless you are installing or
reinstalling a FaxModem)

Definitions:
COM, Communications-Port (1 - 4).
IRQ, Interrupt-ReQuest (0 - 15).
External FaxModem, is placed *ON* a COM-Port (UART).
Internal FaxModem, *REPLACES* a COM-Port (UART).

 Notes:
 1. An External Modem is plugged into an existing COM-Port (UART)!
 2. An Internal Modem is a UART and REPLACES an existing COM-Port (UART)!

If you are having problems with a Modem, read the above lines until you
comprehend and understand them.

Modem Teater is included with this fax software install. You can also get
the standalone version form www.ElectraSoft.com. It will tell you what, if
anything, is on all of your COM-Ports.


OCR INFORMATION:
FaxMail's OCR will convert a fax to text if the image does not include
graphics, and it is computer generated using a non-fancy font. If you
need a little more power, try:

 o Cuneiform OCR by: Cognitive Technology of San Francisco. Free trial.
   Their www-page is: http://www.ocr.com

 o FaxGrabber by: Calera.

 o TextBridge by: Xerox, Call Sue at 508-977-2000.

These packages have been reported to work well with FaxMail.


MAPPING A SERVER DIRECTORY AS A DRIVE:
Go to a DOS prompt and type:
C:
CD\
MD FAXDRIVE
SUBST I: C:\FAXDRIVE
