Outllook 2003 Internet Fax

[Guest]

I already have an efax provider not on the list provided with Outlook. Is
there away to configure other efax services to use Outlooks fax wizard

In theory, there are hooks somewhere that would allow other Internet fax
providers to interface tightly with Outlook but, AFAIK, Venali is the only
provider that actually does this.

Actually, I think there are now several, at least according to this list:

When a user first clicks on New > Internet Fax they'll be taken to the
website that lists all the providers.

The posts in reply to my original question though interesting do not go to
the hub of my problem. Most but not all of the eFax service providers listed
are US based. I need to use one based in the UK.

I currently have an eFax providerbased in the UK which requires email
addresses of the form <fax no>@faxprovidersdomain.co.uk. I want to find out
how to integrate this proivder in to Outlook 2003 fax wizard.

I've serched teh usual help files, google and news groups to no avail. Can
anyone point me to information that may help withthis problem.

Regards

Well that was certainly important information you left out.
How did my reply not answer your question? If your service does not appear
when you go to New > Internet Fax, it is not supported. You might want to
contact them to see if they have any plans to integrate with Outlook 2003.

I am interested in becoming an Internet fax provider. I have Cisco AS5350
capable of sending T.37 faxes to/from email. I'd like to integrate this
feature into MS Office 2003 environment using its Internet Fax feature.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find any technical information regarding the
implementation of this feature on microsoft.com and msdn websites. I know
it's done through registry settings but I couldn't find any info what those
settings should be.

Could you please help me to find some technical info regarding this problem?

Thank you in advance.

First of all, what is the real need to do that? If one works then use it.
If you really have the need, I would set it up independantly of Outlook.
Outlook has a hard enough time doing what it needs to without hanging or
shitting down. Trying to get opposing programs to try doing the same thing
is just not built into the system to handle. Even if you could, and you
can't unless you turn one off in your task manager and start another up, I
would not want to wait for it to try to figure out. That is unless you want
to order a pizza while you wait.
