I am working on building a network fax server here at home and I can’t seem to find an OS X client to communicate with HylaFax that isn’t X-based. Here’s one: Galleon Software’s projects:
Apple Canada
In order to meet their mandate of switching their staff to Apple’s new operating system, Apple Canada contracted Galleon Software to develop a new fax client to support the bulk-faxing needs of their sales and marketing departments. The project was developed in Cocoa, Apple’s new state-of-the-art programming framework for OS X and was designed to interact with HylaFax servers installed under Linux running on Intel hardware.
I dropped Galleon an email to see if they were willing or able to release it: seems like it would be a great thing to bundle with the OS, and Apple has paid for it already. Why not?
We used network FAX servers 10 years ago, with hardware from Shiva and client software in OS 7.x. It worked quite well, given the limitations of the time. I guess I’m surprised to find so little progress in this area.
