Faxing from AccuTerm

   FYI -

AccuTerm has long shipped with a sample fax program that can be adapted to send faxes from the host computer. The sample is called 'ATSENDFAX' and can be found in the ...\Program Files\Atwin\Samples\Pickbp folder (use FT to upload to the host). This sample creates a VBA script as a string in the host BASIC program, then sends the script to AccuTerm for execution. The script uses DDE to communicate with WinFax Pro, which sends the fax. The program works with WinFax versions 8, 9, and 10 (maybe others, but not tested). You can even attach other documents (Excel, Word, text file) to the fax.

	Just experimenting in here but could you be a bit more specific in referring to the sample above? Outline the details of the steps required to perform a fax possibly using Basic. It'd be much appreciated. Thanks. Rob
