Tired of getting up from your desk to fax a document? Have you ever wondered why your company's call center maintains wall-sized desks of fax machines? Employees at many large organizations are asking the same questions. Fortunately, so is Biscom, Inc. While there are a few companies providing enterprise fax solutions, Biscom, in this author's opinion, stands out as the market leader.

We've been using Biscom Fax Servers for quite a number of years now. Yes, it a Windows product but now they have a Linux based version as well. We started out wa-a-a-ay back when Biscom faxservers were still running SunOS (located right next door to Biscom) with about 8 2-port, 4-wire analog lines (called E&M). You can easily see the unix roots in the file structure. My company was partially instrumental in getting them to support european PRAs (30-line ISDN trunks)
It a nice product and certainly a lot better than a couple of dozen fax machines mounted on racks (yes, we had those too. Major fun when they ran out of paper or toner and you only notice ofter a couple of dozen faxes arrived...)
They support quite a number of systems (anyone remember Banyan Vines?) and you can buy a SAP Connector based product from Aventix for faxing right from within SAP
Nice product. It does read a bit like an infomercial one has to admit..
Sorry, but I don't see very much what this type of article is doing here either. Nothing to do with OSes, Internet (well, they did have a machine that allowed you to fax to an email-adress....) or Open Source. If OSNEWS is also the place to read about commercial SW in general well, there are a couple of hunderd thousand other similar articles bound for this space.... (yeah, I know, user submitted, not an open source site, go back to slashdot yada yada yada) This is just my view. Please don't take offence.
