The fax sample application can be modified to suit your particular
requirements. This can be done at various levels:
- You can use the complete application as provided with minor changes if
required.
- You can keep the custom server interface as described, but completely
rewrite the state table and prompts, and re-record the voice segments.
- You can modify the custom server and add new functions. For example, a
caller may call in and request that information such as a bank statement be
sent to his or her fax machine. To achieve this, the state table may have
to obtain textual information from a host using the 3270 server, and then
pass this information to the Brooktrout fax BFAX_SEND_FAX state table for conversion
from TEXT to TIFF format using utilities, before sending the fax.
- You can modify the custom server to put additional information in its
log file FaxSample.log, either as a debugging aid during development,
or to provide accounting or charging information.
