As a consequence, sending faxes is often not connected with a company’s electronic communication. In such a case,the fax becomes an isolated application for in-house use only, which in addition, is expensive to maintain. With i‑effect® *FAX, you can send any of your system’s print versions directly from the IBM Power Systems easily as an e-mail using an internet fax gateway. By consolidating your communications network with internet fax (no modem, no data transmission interface, no telephone extension), you save on operating and maintenance costs of fax machines.
