Running 10.1 is a whole new (and better) experience. Wonderful. But I cannot use it until I have some type of fax solution for the business and home. I can't believe that all the work has gone into everything but the one item (fax) I cannot do without. FaxSTF (Smith Micro) said in June that they would be X'd in the "3rd quarter". It is now 4th quarter, and not even a sign of a beta yet. Anyone have any way around this, from within OS X? |

Write apple on their feedback page and ask for the return of AppleFax. Back in System 7.5.x, they released it as a chooser extension. it worked wonderfully, even through OS 9.x. Maybe they can rewrite the concept and make it X compatible. Why not? Anything Apple can do to make my life easier is worth it (i.e. AppleWorks, iTunes, iMovie, iDisk, OS X, Mail, Sherlock, etc...)

| Modem for efax
There are two apparently modem-related devices in /dev: /dev/cu.modem and /dev/tty.modem. Perhaps one of these might work with efax? Note, however, don't try a 'cat /dev/cu.modem' in a Terminal, as the system will freak out for about a minute (iTunes stopped, nothing responded, etc), but eventually it came back...that time...

After one disaster with trying FaxSTF X, I was set to give up. BUT efax 0.9.0(though basic) actually works. Well enough. Check it out at http://www.macadvocacy.com/ |
