DESCRIPTION
4-Sight Fax... Introducing a business-strength, Internet-enabled fax solution that provides the digital communications power and portability you need to achieve profitability in today’s fast-paced, increasingly mobile, cost-conscious economy. 4-Sight FAX, the first Macintosh fax server for OS X, provides both network fax and broadcast fax capabilities. Send and receive faxes directly from Macintosh and Windows computers.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 7.0.10: - FAX Server: This release represents a major upgrade to the 4-Sight FAX Server Fax/modem engine. It provides compatibility for more modems, more fax machines and improves modem (and fax machine) communications and reliability, specifically with Class 1 modems and a wider variety of fax machines. This release was aimed at providing a solution to wedge modem states, which were occuring with greater frequency with Class 1 modems under newer releases of the Macintosh Leopard operating system.
- FAX Server: Added support for two (2) new modems. The MultiTech MT9234MU and the Multitech MT9234ZBA USB v92 modems.
- FAX Client: When the FAX Server is operating under Macintosh OS X, 10.5.4 or later, the client software could no longer see the server listed when creating a new account. This forced the user to obtain and physically type the 4-Sight FAX Server IP address into the new account window in the client. Both the Macintosh and Windows Clients now use Bonjour libraries and all FAX servers running under the Subnet appear almost instantly. Under Windows, this requires the installation of the Windows Bonjour libraries for our client code to operate correctly. On Macintosh OS X, Bonjour is automatically installed. This new update lists all Fax servers on the current subnet within 0 to 4 seconds versus the 10 to 15 seconds prior to this update.
- FAX Client: Corrected a bug when the Client software quit whenever it was physically located anywhere outside it's default "4-Sight FAX Client" folder. The problem occured when the Client failed to locate the "Languages" folder. Now, the Client will automatically default to the English language (sorry Europe and Asia), when it is located somewhere other than the default location.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS 9 or later with CarbonLib installed, or Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

JASON Good, but prohibitively too expensive. Something about a RealBasic application costing tens of thousands of dollars just seems a little out of scale. One can lease a Canon or Xerox for less than the single line version of this and have most of the same options.

ANONYMOUS Wow, I could buy about 60 fax machines for the price of their most expensive "license."

ANONYMOUS Yes, you could, but there are really nice options for business users that make it very attractive. Cheap fax machines do not turn the fax into a pdf or e-mail them or the whole host of options you can do with them. Bigger companies like Xerox and Canon charge ten times that for some of their features. I am not completely sold on their support, but their product is still best of breed, not to mention offers not just a Mac client, but a Mac-based server as well. It is easy to balk at $600, but consider what people spend for items that they use everyday in the office... $10k or far more if it is a color copier, $1100 for Quark or $1200 for the Adobe CS Suite, $1000 for OSX Server, not to mention the cost of the machine and the list could go on endlessly. Value is something each of us has on things, but remembering that what you may value as trash, others may see as the golden treasure they have been searching for for a long time. | |

ANONYMOUS Okay, I stand corrected. I misread their pricing (somehow got upgrade pricing). Their pricing, though okay for large businesses makes it a little hard to justify. Yes, best of breed, but by the time you add the options that make it best of breed, it almost equals the cost of a low-end document management solution from the bigger boys. The plus side is that it is on the Mac. If it only took a quarter of the time it used to to develop with RealBasic, it might be nice to have a break in price, so that more people can afford it, thus still making you money. If it is more affordable, a lot more people would consider this...
