4.0 out of 5 stars The Best ( And Only) Fax Program for OS X, May 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Faxstf X (CD-ROM)

For some strange reason, Apple has neglected to include the ability to easily fax documents with your computer in OS X. FAXSTF X is currently the only publisher of software so it's hard to compare it.

One of the most important things that the installation neglects to mention is don't install the software anywhere else except in the default location. Even though you have that option, if you do install in another directory or disk, the update will not recognize it and you'll have to delete and reinstall it again. And since FAXSTF gives itself root ownership, deleting it takes a little work. So install it into the default location.

The second thing is to make sure you download the most current version. The version on disk is for versions up to OS 10.1.2. If your use OS 10.1.3 or higher you must download the update from their site.

That said, the installation into the default directory is easy and painless. So it the update (which requires a re-boot of the machine), but must be downloaded .

Once the program is installed, faxing is easy - go to the printing center and add the modem as a printer. Now from any application, you simply select the fax as a printer and you're done.

1.0 out of 5 stars Never got it to work correctly, June 19, 2002

This review is from: Faxstf X (CD-ROM)

After much back-and-forth with Smith Micro tech support, I was never able to send or receive a fax. This software is not ready for prime time, and was a waste of my money.
