Zetafax is corporate fax software for PC networks, used at over 20 000 sites around the world.  It enables LAN users to send faxes straight from their PCs and to receive faxes on screen.  Compatible with Microsoft, Novell and Lotus software, Zetafax is a manageable and scalable solution for networks of 5 to 5000 users.

 

The product guide holds a large amount of information on Zetafax.  From permissioning to using address books to sending faxes directly from databases. 

Zetafax General Features
 
Automatic redialing and reconnection
Zetafax includes both fax server software and fax client software.  A fax submitted by the fax client or as e-mail is queued at the fax server for sending.  The fax server will redial automatically when lines are busy.   Should poor line quality cause transmission breaks, Zetafax reconnects and sends the remaining pages without user intervention.
 
Send clear, easy to read faxes
The quality of fax received by the recipient is improved.   Since the fax is computer generated, it does not include the specks, fuzzy edges and other scanning errors which occur when faxing manually.  The end result has a high quality feel to it, looking more like a laser printer output than a fax.
