SMTP/POP3 client

Content:

FaxChange installed for working with an SMTP/POP3 server (your administartor will supply you with this information) uses a special fax address format different from formats for clients connected to Exchange or Lotus/Domino servers. Other usage of FaxChange with SMTP client is the same as when using Exchange/Lotus server (previews, delivery reports). If you are using Outlook 98 or higher as SMTP client, you can use fax forms same as for Exchange gateway.

Netscape Mail is capable of all of the above formats.
MS Outlook 98 and MS Outlook 2000 are capable of creating only formats (1), (2), (6).

When sending fax for the first time, message will be sent to the user with link to installation package for Windows.
