Latest Fax2Send NewsUpdated February 16, 200616 February 2006 - Fax2Send Server V2.1-16 now availableReleased after reports that after receiving a fax successfully no image was present. Required because of changes to Linux distribution utilities 24 February 2004 - Fax2Send Server V2.1-14 now available for use with glibc 2.1Users of older versions of Linux or machines such as the Qube3 can now install the latest release of Fax2Send server. Previously this could not be used as glibc2.2 was expected. Only the full install is available, therefore, users will need to copy any files they wish to retain (e.g. old faxes) before running the install. Only the tar.gz is available so ideally X-Windows should be installed so that the Installation Wizard is used. Choose item 3 from the download selection. 9 January 2004 - Fax2Send Server V2.1-14 now availableA new release of Fax2Send Server is available. The full version in both tar.gz (Installation Wizard), rpm, and the upgrade from previous versions are all available now.

This has been solved with the release of V2.1-14 of the Fax2Send PC Client. See Above 13 July 2003 - CUPS printers now supportedTo fall in line with the move to CUPS printers (rather than lpd), Fax2Send has been changed to support CUPS printers and no longer sets up a printer during the install. Fax2Send now listens on the pipe /dev/fax2send for any input. Set up a HP LaserJet III printer with your distributions hardware configuration tool and rename it to FAX2SEND. Then change the port to /dev/fax2send. 13 July 2003 - Fax2Send V2.1-13 releasedThe new version of Fax2Send V2.1-13 is available to download from our web site. Available in rpm or tar format for a new install and as a tar upgrade for existing users. Unless you prefer using rpm install then we recommend the tar option is chosen. This is because it has a full graphical installer. The new version enables faxes to be sent by printing to the Fax2Send printer from Linux desktop applications, giving the some functionality that Fax2Send PC client users are used to. MORE_INFORMATION........DOWNLOAD_SERVER.......UPGRADE TO V2.1-13 10 June 2003 - Problems installing Fax2Send Server V2.1-12 rpm downloadRecently it was reported that the rpm download of Fax2Send Server V2.1-12 was failing. We have now corrected the error and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The tar install, which our recommended option to install Fax2Send was not affected by this problem. 29 May 2003 - Fax2Send and Red Hat 9.0There are currently problems with installing the Fax2Send tar.gz with Red Hat 9.0. This means that the Fax2Send X-Windows Client will also not install due to TCL/Tk not being installed on this version of the Red Hat distribution unless the "Full Install" option is chosen. The WISH download available from our FTP server cannot be installed with this version of the distro. This also means that the Installation Wizard will not run, so Fax2Send Server should be installed using the rpm. 29 May 2003 - Version V2.1-12 releasedFax2Send server V2.1-12 has been released with an updated German translation and some bug fixes. V2.1-12 is available for download as an rpm or the Installation Wizard tar.gz.

No emails have yet been received as this is dependant on the originating email server re-transmitting them. 6 May 2003 - Fax2Send email services downSome time overnight, the link from Beacon (Fax2Send authors) to the Internet stopped working. This seems to be a problem with the link to the Internet and is being investigated by BT the telecom carrier. Until such time as it is restored we can't receive any email, although the web and FTP sites are unaffected. All emails sent in this period will be re-transmitted by the originating server once it is back up, so none should be lost. Some delay in response to support and sales requests will occur. We will answer all queries as soon as possible. Our apologies but this is outside of our control. 29 April 2003 - Fax2Send V2.1-12 server & PC Client available soonFax2Send server V2.1-12 is currently in final testing prior to release.

Their Faxbox modem products were used by Fax2Send to provide routing of received faxes to the desktop using DID or CLI. Unfortunately until we have selected and written a new driver, it will not be possible use these features. Both CLI and DID are not included in fax modem standards therefore it is necessary to write a custom driver as modem manufacturers (if they offer these features) implement them differently. 25 April 2002 - Red Hat LACD agreementFollowing a request by Red Hat for permission to allow Fax2Send to be included in future Red Hat Linux distributions, we today signed an LACD agreement with them.

This does NOT affect the proper operation of this version of the PC client. The uninstallShield (a widely used third-party de-install shell) is supposed to manage the removal of applications by monitoring what components are loaded by the installation procedure. For some reason, not yet understood, the uninstallShield is also removing vital components of MS Windows which prevent it properly running. This occurs even if the option to leave all dll's is taken. Until such time as we have solved this issue we have removed this version of the PC Client from the download page. What you should do
We apologise for this problem which lays with the use of a third-party product 17 May 2001 - fax2send.it coming soonWe have reached agreement with Dacos Network Solutions s.u.r.l. to run fax2send.it - This will provide the Fax2Send site in Italian with the ability for customers to see all product information in their language, download a language specific copy of Fax2Send server and PC Client and purchase the product on-line in Italian as well. fax2send.it is not operational yet but will be soon.

This is because the standard search operates as an "and" search rather than an "or". For example: MS Windows Client was not found by the standard search because the search was looking for MS and Windows and Client Solution: Use the Advanced Search engine which provides the choice of "or" We will also try and cover all the standard searches by adding them to the Key Words on a page 24 April 2001 - Request a QuoteA form has been added to the web site so that organizations can request that a Quotation is sent to them.

Fax2Send Partners will have a user name and password issued to allow them to purchase on-line at trade rates. The Partner area of the web site will be expanded to add specific information as well as logos, datasheets and other marketing information 23 April 2001 - Mandrake 8 - difficulties with installing Fax2Send serverWe have been made aware that there are difficulties with installing Fax2Send server V2.1-4 on Mandrake 8. These appear to be caused because the command "rcp" is not installed when the recommended option is chosen when loading from scratch. This does not effect upgrades from Mandrake 7.2 to 8 users. We will be releasing a new version of Fax2Send server to address this. In the interim any user who encounters this problem should contact Fax2Send support for assistance. 17 April 2001 - New distributor for ItalyKeep clicking back on www.fax2send.com as we will be announcing an Italian distributor soon that will provide purchase and support of Fax2Send products in Italian 17 April 2001 - Modifications to Purchasing screensWe have changed the purchasing screens to follow the new site style including modification to allow site navigation. 10 April 2001 - Search Engine introducedA site-wide Search Engine has been introduced on the web site to enable information to be found easily.

This should be completed by the end of April 1 April 2001 - New web site styleWe have changed the style of the web site to make it clearer and easier to use. The previous web site had become unmanagable, with some information difficult to find and in more than one place. Over the next few weeks we will be changing the layout of the web site to simplify the pages and ensure that you are never more than three clicks from anything. The first topic to change will be the Support Section. * For older News stories please see the News Archive Page * |
