EPiFAX 1.0 released
After being a well kept secret in the Making Waves toolbox for many years we are now very happy to be able to share this EPiServer module with you on EPiCode. We hope it will be as popular with your customers as it has been with ours.
Introduction:
Haven’t you always wished you could be able to send a fax straight from your EPiServer site? Well with EPiFAX you can! Now you can deliver those great reports from EPiServer’s “Report Center” straight to your customers fax machine with a simple scheduled job! Or how about sending a copy of the page you just published to your fax machine to ensure a paper backup copy in case your site crashes! The uses are endless.
Code Sample:
1: EPiFAX fax = new EPiFAX(); 2: string xhtml = fax.RenderPageToXhtml(CurrentPage); 3: fax.SendFAX(22206021, xhtml); 4: fax.closeFaxModemConnection();How it works:
By using the the built in EPiFAX object you can call the methods SendFAX(int ToPhoneNumber, string XHTML) and SendFax(int ToPhoneNumber, string CoverSheetXHTML, string XHTML). It couldn’t be simpler! Just remember to connect your fax modem to the serial port of your server, and to connect your analog phone line to the “line in” port on your fax modem. Also make sure that your modem is set up to use pulse dialing.

Wow! Didn't know we have a fax module... Can't wait to try it out!
ROFLMAO
A premium version supporting inbound fax would be swell; faxes could show up as subpages in the page hierarchy. Great way to track responses from Direct Marketing campaigns across multiple channels through CMO.
GREAT! I've been waiting for this :-)
Asbjørn Vølstad: Already planned. Going to be part of EPiFax 2.0. Fax me privatly for details.
Ok, tried it but might have found a serious problem with your module.
Getting LineBusyException at row 217 in the SendFAX() method.
Could you please have a look at this asap.
Thank you in advance and keep up the good work.
Awesome.
I might use this as a base for a FaxPageProvider.
First order for the EPiFax 1.0 module: http://yfrog.com/h338fkp Yay!
Floppies packed and shipped!
Can't you (photo)copy the floppy and fax it back to Mark? Otherwise he'll have to wait all weekend before it arrives in the mail!
Order delivered :-)
