How does the Web/Fax Gateway work?
The SWIIFT WFG allows users of company Intranets to send and receive faxes as easily as clicking on a web page and filling out a form. The information on the form is sent to the web server (when the “Send Fax” button is clicked) where SWIIFT passes it to Faximum to send. The SWIIFT WFG is not limited just to messages the user can type in from his browser. By using HTML extensions supported by Netscape and others, SWIIFT allows users to select any compatible file on their machines to be attached to his fax. All of the major features of more traditional fax software are supported by SWIIFT including personal telephone books, default parameters stored on a per-user basis (including signatures), broadcast lists, and arbitrary file attachments. In addition to enabling users to send and receive faxes using their existing Internet tools, SWIIFT can be used to provide additional web-related services.
