Subject:    *** Questions about FaxSTF

I'm thinking about buying a v.32bis fax modem for my Macintosh. Right now, the
tossup appears to be between the Supra (w/v.17 14.4 Fax) or a Global Village
Teleport Gold (w/plain ol' 9600 Group III Fax). Anyway, the deciding swing
vote may be in the software that each modem uses. I've read a bit about the
Teleport's fax software; now, I have questions for those of you who use STF's
FaxSTF software. Mainly:

Does FaxSTF let the user send a fax directly from any application?
Is FaxSTF able to receive faxes automatically, in the background?
Does FaxSTF allow deferred sending of faxes (ie: faxing after 11 P.M.)?
Does FaxSTF make you route through the chooser to switch between data & fax
modes?
How does FaxSTF handle cover pages?

A numerous amount of questions, I know. However, I'd appreciate it if a couple
of you could lend a couple of minutes in answering them for me.

Thanks in advance!

I recently downloaded MacDump from several places (rutgers.edu, ...), etc.
I was able to compile the code for the macdump on my sun using cap and can
now back up my mac to the sun :-) However, doing restores is a problem. In
addition to minor problems such as requiring that Dumper be in the System
Folder, I can not do anything but a full restore. The documentation that
came with it doesn't say anything about where to contact the authors. In
particular, I am wondering if, how and/or where I can get source code to
the Macintosh part of the package. I would like to try hacking on it to
see if I can get it to work. I would appreciate it if you would reply to
me via e-mail since I don't always have time to read news. My e-mail

Unless the package specifically says it is Hardware Handshaking, or for

Hiya Macphiles,
What (in your opinion) is the best/most versatile piece of FAX software
that you have seen or worked with on the Mac? I am looking for a package
that will work with a Zoom modem (2400 & 9600 Send/Receive FAX). I have
been following the discussion re. GlobalFAX and FAXstf packages and would
appreciate phone numbers for contacting these companies. I have also been
trying to talk to Sunrise software about their product, but they have yet
to return my calls. Does anyone know how Sunrise's fax software compares
with the Global and STF products?

Any leads will be immensely useful. Thanks.

The Smartmodem was introduced in 1982. It might have been late '81. 1986
is about 4 or 5 years late.

Funny, Hayes modems don't seem to have trouble following those standards.
Even more odd -- third party modems seem to do the same thing. I've only
heard of one modem that might have trouble with this setup, and it has long
since been discontinued.

Organization: Medical College of Virginia

Here at Va. Commonwealth University/Medical College of Va., we have an
HP LJ-IIISi which is currently attached to a mac via a localtalk
connection.  In order to facilitate sharing the Laser jet with a
group of unix workstations connected via ethernet (TCP-IP) we
are wondering if anyone has managed to get a LJ-IIIsi with a 
tcp-ip card to work with a macintosh.  Conversations with HP
technical support have lead us to believe that what we are
trying to do will be difficult, if not impossible, but before
I give up totally on the idea of sharing the printer via attaching
it directly to the ethernet, I thought I would call on the
collective net.wisdom to see if what we are are wanting to do
is totally a pipe dream, or if HP support was simply not aware
of how to share a printer speaking tcp-ip between a mac and
a network of unix workstations.

Any assistance or information will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I have an 84kb QLIIFax fax document that received OK according to the 
receive log, yet shows a tiny display (about 0.5 inch high) with just a
few marks on it.

Looking at the fax file with a disk editor, it seems to have a similar
gross pattern of data to a fax that IS readable - so there is a high

chance that there IS a full page fax in there.

I'm assuming (hoping) there is some sort of picture frame or scaling setting
that is wrong on the document.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

It is a problem in his mail transport system, and it has absolutely nothing
to do with Eudora.

POP3 servers are supposed to transmit RFC-822 compliant messages.  The
"From " line at the beginning of the above message is the UUCP envelope,
not an RFC 822 "From:" header, and will not be transmitted.  This means
Eudora sees:

And how exactly Eudora is supposed to figure out who that's from, you tell
me.

The solution to this problem is either to fix the mail transport system to
put RFC 822 compliant messages in maildrops, or to change the POP server to
manufacture a From: header from the UUCP envelope, if the From: header is
missing.  The latter approach would be easier.

Hi there!

	I have tried unsuccesfully to use the SendFax Driver provided

	It seems that the driver does not recognize that there is an

Hmm, this is interesting.  The above code does indeed generate the
same "random" number every time it is run.  What is more interesting,
the following code also generates the same number every time, but the
number is different than the number generated by the above code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  long dummy;
	
  printf("\n");
  GetDateTime(&dummy);
  randSeed = dummy;
  printf("%ld\n", Random());
}

The situation I was referring to (sorry for not making this clear
in my first post) is illustrated by the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <useful.h>  // my homebrew library of useful routines
                     // such as InitAll()
main()
{
  long dummy;
  
  InitAll();         // calls InitGraf, InitWindows, etc.
  printf("%ld\n");
  GetDateTime(&dummy);
  randSeed = dummy;
  printf("%ld\n", Random());
}

This code, compiled under Think C 5, generates a different
random number every time it is run.

I had a similar need, but I wanted to find out if any attached
device was using black and white only. Since there is no
complement to GetMaxDevice(), here is a kind is GetMinDevice().

Boolean IsMonochrome( void )
{
     GDHandle theDevice;

          ; theDevice
          ; theDevice = GetNextDevice( theDevice ) )

device using monochrome?
               return TRUE;
	
     return FALSE; // Using color on all devices
	
} /* IsMonochrome */

Note: Just checking the device type is no enough, you have to
check the pix map.

There was a tool called UltraSlimFast distributed on the developer CDs. I
think that's what Keith was refering to. I haven't used it for a while. SourceBug
will show assembly code (I select the source line, then switch to "View assembler",
and the assm code corresponding to the selected src line is highlighted), and so
will ObjectMaster from a menu option in its browser window.

The cmd-shift-# key combinations are processed by GetNextEvent or
WaitNextEvent.  Your app never even sees the events.  Put a
WaitNextEvent loop in instead of a "while(!Button());" loop, and you
should handle all FKEYs properly.

Hi,
I am developing an application which will need some simple graphing.
This will mainly invlolve simple line and bar graphs.
I don't want to waste time writing my own graphing routines so I'm
looking for some third party product. Can anyone give me some advice on
what is available? I am developing in THINK C 5.0.3 (non-object).

I am also interested in some fancy CDEFs and LDEFs to jazz up my app -
any thoughts? (Mainly levers with real-time links to edit fileds)

Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
