Fax

How can you send fax directly with Delphi?

I had to make two dll for a customer that allows  developers to make Windows applications that sends fax directly over HylaFax or Ms-Fax.
 

HylaFax

HylaFax is an open source fax server under linux.
We are lucky, because we can communicate HylaFax through FTP. So we just have to write a special FTP client software, that send parameters and  fax file (postscript or pdf) to HylaFax. The example show you how can you do this.
It needs Indy v9, so you must download and install Indy component collection.

Download :Indy,  Source code

Microsoft Fax Service

A fax service is built into Windows XP.  The Windows Small Business Server versions also includes  a fax service that works as fax server so you can share between users.

This application shows you, how you can send fax from Delphi through simple fax service or shared fax. It needs FAXCOMEXLib_TLB that you must download and install as  component.

Download :FAXCOMEXLib_TLB, Source code

Both applications are available as dll, so you can use them with all windows development system.
Now my company use it with Magic eDeveloper, and both of them  work  brilliantly. If you interested in it send mail to Minden-nap Ltd.
