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.

32bit Fax will only run on 32bit version of Windows.

FaxMail adds a [Fax] button to all your Windows Programs

If you can print, you can fax

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

DESCRIPTION:
FaxMail includes a choice of three different installations which support
Microsoft Windows 3.1x/95/98/ME. Supports most FaxModems, Group 3 CLASS 1,
CLASS 2 and CLASS 2.0. FaxMail for Windows will add a [Fax] button to your
Windows Programs, giving you access to all the Fax/Modems and Fax/Machines
in the world, making them become your printers. FaxMail attaches itself to
and becomes a part of the actual Microsoft Windows environment, whereby it
appends itself to all system menus thereby adding its features to all
Windows Applications. FaxMail has hundreds of useful features such as
Dynamic View/Edit Cover Page, FaxBook Import, Windows Dynamic All Class
FaxModem Driver, and Technical Support. You can import up to 1000 name and
phone numbers into each FaxBook 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 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.

NOTE:
If you choose to use the [FaxMail for Windows Dynamic All Class FaxModem
Driver], a lot of this README will not pertain to you, and nothing will
be put in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.

LIMITATIONS:
FaxMail for Windows is shareware, which means you get to try out the
software before you buy it. If you want to continue using the software
after 30 days of trying it, you must purchase it by registering. While
unregistered, you will only be able to send to a maximum of 10 recipients
in each batch send. After you register [FaxMail for Windows] with
ElectraSoft, you will be able to send up to 999 at a time.

BEFORE ALL ELSE:
We are working full time on improving and upgrading FaxMail for Windows
based upon the feedback from you and other users. So...before you
install, look at the date on this file. If the date is more than a week
old, you may want to get the latest version.

You can get FaxMail for Windows from many BBSs and FTP Internet Sites
around the world. fax_v924.zip, where fax_v924. means version v9.24.01.

http://www.ElectraSoft.com/ or http://www.blkbox.com/~jonk/

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 for Windows that does not have the
problem.


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

FaxMail for Windows is shareware. This means you have a chance to test
the performance of FaxMail for Windows before committing yourself to
buying it. FaxMail 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 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 the [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.

If you load the wrong FaxModem Driver the worst that can be expected to
happen is that the FaxModem Driver might not load or the program might
hang or fail to operate, and perhaps your modem might be left in Fax mode
and require manual resetting(turn it off and back on). Since information
about models that don't work with this program will aid in correcting
unsuspected problems, we would appreciate any information you can give us
about them. Write to the registration address, or send email to:
FaxMail@ElectraSoft.com or jonk@blkbox.com


USING COMTEST.COM:
USING MODEM TESTER:
Definition:
FaxModem Wizard COM-Port/FaxModem Tester, COMTEST.COM. FaxModem Wizard
not only tells you what kind of UART is present on each of your four
COM-Ports, but what IRQ it is using. It will generate a text file called
COMTEST.TXT that you can read later. This file can be emailed to
ElectraSoft for analyses.

[Modem Tester] is included in the FaxMail INSTALL.EXE.
Go to:
http://www.ElectraSoft.com/
and get [FaxModem Wizard], [16bit Modem Tester] or
[32bit Modem Tester].


BEFORE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
Windows only:
If you are going to be using FaxMail for Windows in Windows only, you
might try the [FaxMail for Windows Dynamic All Class FaxModem Driver]
first.

DOS and Windows:
If, while installing FaxMail for Windows you find that your FaxModem is
not listed, it is possible that one of the selections will work. For
instance, DoveFax Class 1 and Practical Peripherals Class 1 works with
many other class 1 FaxModems. The {[Universal, Rockwell, Class 2]} will
work with nearly all of the FaxModems derived from the [Rockwell Class 2
Accelerator Kit]. Generic Class 2, Zoom Class 2, ZyXEL Class 2, and
Dallas Class 2 FaxModem Drivers are all Class 2 FaxModem Drivers. There
are a lot of [Class 2] variations, so, if your [Class 2] board does not
work with one, it may work with another. The

  [Universal, Hayes, Rockwell, Class 1],
  [Universal, Rockwell, Class 1], and the
  [Universal, Rockwell, Class 2]

FaxModem Drivers are designed to do the job if all else fails. It should
not always be the first choice because even though it is more versatile,
it may not perform as well as the one recommended by us. Depending on
your computer, another FaxModem Driver may work better than our
recommended one though. Sometimes, depending on your computer, COM-Port
(FIFO(16550) or not), the
  [Universal, Hayes, Rockwell, Class 1],
  [Universal, Rockwell, Class 1],
         - or -
  [Universal, Rockwell, Class 2]
may outperform the recommended FaxModem Driver. By The Way, these 2
FaxModem Drivers support FIFO operation.

If your FaxModem is not listed, look for an alternate FaxModem Driver. An
Internal FaxModem Driver can be used to drive an External FaxModem, and
an External FaxModem Driver can be used to drive an Internal FaxModem.
The name is not important. For instance, the AT&T class 1 will work on
many other class 1 FaxModems. Choosing the wrong FaxModem Driver will not
harm Anything.

The files in this package are modified to your specifications during
installation and *WILL NOT* work properly if simply copied into your
working directory. You *MUST* use the INSTALL.EXE or configuration
utilities to add or change anything.

FAXMAIL INSTALLATION:
Make a directory called FM_SHARE, like this:
C:
CD \
MD FM_SHARE
CD FM_SHARE

UnZIP(PKUNZIP.EXE Version 2.04g or higher) * into FM_SHARE directory, like
this:
Copy FaxMail into FM_SHARE
PKUNZIP * /O
and then type:
START and press [Enter]
 -or-
Go into Windows and run the FaxMail for Windows INSTALL.EXE using the
Windows RUN command.


AFTER SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
After installation, you will have several icons in the FaxMail for
Windows Group. Please note the following icons:
 Manual        (MANUAL.TXT)
 Read Me       (README.TXT)
 Q and A       (Q_A.TXT)
 FaxMail Tutor (FM_TUTOR.WRI)
 FaxMail Help  (FM_HELP.HLP)
These should be read before using FaxMail for Windows. There is also
[Contact-Sensitive Help] buttons, throughout FaxMail for Windows, for
your convenience.

Everything is explained thoroughly in the FaxMail for Windows help
system, which may be called upon from anywhere in FaxMail for Windows.

If you want to use FaxMail for Windows from within any Windows
Application and/or take advantage of *ALL* the power FaxMail for Windows
has, load the [Control] program that you will find in the FaxMail for
Windows Group before loading any other Windows Applications.

After the Control program is loaded, click on the System button (the
small square button at the top left corner of all windows) and choose
SetUp and configure things *YOUR WAY*. I suggest that if you are not sure
of something, leave the defaults set as it came to you. Make a printout
of the defaults in case you change something you do not understand yet.

 Note:
  When using a FaxMail DOS real-time Fax Modem driver instead of the
  FaxMail for Windows Dynamic All Class FaxModem Driver (for Windows
  only). If the real-time FaxModem Driver does not load when you boot
  your computer it could be because FaxMail for Windows installs its
  FaxModem Driver at the top of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and other drivers
  can cancel it out. If this happens to you, move the FaxModem Driver
  command:
LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
  to a spot just before the Windows load command.


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 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 for Windows
 is set to is reached, FaxMail for Windows will answer it and
 process a Fax.


To activate Silent Answer
Load the FaxMail for Windows [Control] program and click on the [System]
Button, [Setup] 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.


           How to enable auto-load (registered version only)

When you boot-up, you have a choice as to whether you want to load the
FaxMail for Windows FaxModem Driver or not. If you plan to always load
the FaxMail for Windows FaxModem Driver, you can place y or Y behind the
FaxModem Driver. Here are two examples:

examples #1 (First line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT)
LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
will ask:
Do you want to load the [FaxMail for Windows] FaxModem Driver? (Y/N) Y

examples #2 (First line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT)
LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM Y
The Y parameter will cause the FaxModem Driver to load without asking. It
will always load without stopping or asking.

                     BBS and FAX on the same computer

Method 1:
Windows:
There is an ICON, FAX vs BBS, in the FaxMail for Windows Group for the
purpose of allowing you to control the FaxModem mode.

 -Before you call a BBS, double-click the [FAX vs BBS] ICON and choose:
                   [Set FaxModem to BBS-Mode].
 -Load your BBS-Software and log-onto the BBS.
 -After logging-off the BBS and exiting the BBS Software; to resume
  FAXing, double-click the [FAX vs BBS] ICON again and choose:
                   [Set FaxModem to FAX-Mode] again.

Method 2:
DOS:
Before you call a BBS, go to the DOS Prompt, and type:

C:\FaxMail\BBS-MODE.COM

Log-onto the BBS.

To resume FAXing, go to the DOS Prompt, and type:

C:\FaxMail\FAX-MODE.COM


Method 3:
 Note:
 In these example; do not type the comments that appear to the
 right of the {.

If you want to use the same computer for Fax and data-modem(BBS), it may
be necessary to Disable the FaxMail for Windows FaxModem Driver while
calling a BBS. To Disable FaxMail for Windows FaxModem Driver run:
BBS-MODE.COM. Use FAX-MODE.COM to Enable the FaxModem Driver again after
you log-off the BBS. Here is an example of a Batch(.BAT) File that will
do it all for you. Lets say that you are using a BBS program called
Telemate, and it's name is TM.EXE. The following Batch File will Disable
the [FaxModem Driver] load [Telemate] and when you exit the BBS program
(Telemate) it will [Enable] the FaxModem Driver so you can resume FAXing.
At the DOS Prompt:

COPY CON T.BAT [Enter]                          {Create file(T.BAT)
