FaxMan

What's new in FanMan V4.6? This is a maintenance release that includes the following changes:

• 64 Bit Printer Drivers for Vista, XP and Windows Server 2003 & 2008
• FaxMan now automically logs all com port activity into trace files which are automatically removed after a user specified interval. This eliminates the need to startup faxman in debug and try to duplicate a faxing issue.
• Class 1 sending more robust when line issues after dialing, previous versions would error out when receiving an ERROR or Timeout after the initial CONNECT after dialing, now we resend a +FRH=3 when that occurs.
• AutoDetect automatically sets the proper init string for Hardware flow control for USR modems.
• Changes were made to the Transmit code to be more robust when data is received when we are sending the page data. In some prior builds we would not properly handle this leading to No Reponse to MPS/EOP or timeout issues.
• All FaXMan redistributable files are digitally signed

What's new in V4.0?

• Support for running under Terminal Services, both the Printer Drivers and FaxMan Server and clients are Terminal Services aware
• The FaxMan engine can now run as a service under Windows XP/2000/2003
• New user mode printer drivers simplify installations on Windows 2003 servers
• New Printer event model simplifies application design. The PrintStart event is no longer used
• New .Net Fax and Printer controls simplify integration of FaxMan in .Net applications. Support for 33.6K faxing with modems that support Class 2.1 operation such as Multitech ZBA V.92 modems and Mainpine multiport hardware
• Ability to keep the generated cover pages after sending a fax via the RetainCoverPages server option
• Support for importing and faxing PDF files( via optional PDF Import Addon)
• New database backend utilizing SQL query language simplifies custom query development
• The FaxMan server no longer attempts to send a fax to a number already in use. Improved communications support internally to maximize transmit and receive reliability

What's new in V3.82?

• New usermode printer drivers support Windows 2003 without any server configuration changes
• New self contained FaxInstall utility for installing FaxMan printer drivers simplifies deployment and installs the new user mode drivers on Windows 2000/XP/Windows 2003 systems
