We may be looking into alternatives to Domino Fax for iSeries. The goal is to be able to receive faxes via our DID (Direct Inward Dialing) lines via our Adtran unit into our Lotus Domino email. A strong secondary mission will be to be able to send out faxes from our Notes.
Right now, if you send a fax to my fax number it will appear as an email right into my Notes. The first page of the fax is directly visible and the entire fax is an attachment.
If I send an email To: Joe Blow@912605551212@faxing a fax will be sent to the fax number at 260-555-1212 and the cover letter will be addressed to Joe Blow. I can also attach some common files such as Excel, Word and others and it will expand those and print those on the fax also.
I have no need to be able to fax directly from our other i based applications. We used to have that and realized that should be deprecated into email. We told our customers and other trading partners to settle for email or snail mail and got 100% acceptance. We’ve turned that capability off months ago and removed the software from our systems.
I realize that I may not find a solution that is i based but will require some legacy Windows based solution or some such thing. I will not, however, be replicating everyone’s email files to some such solution.

Subject: H-Fax (replacement for Domino Fax / Fax for Domino) - lotus domino fax server
If you’re looking for a simple and inexpensive fax solution you should take a look at H-Fax. It is a fax and voicemail solution for Domino which runs on a Windows platform. It can be used as a replacement for the discontinued (EOL) “IBM Integrated Domino Fax” and “Lotus Fax for Domino” . There is an option to route inbound faxes to specific people / groups based on Caller ID (CID).
You can use it just for fax if you are not interested in the voicemail feature – voicemail mailboxes and call transferring. It supports up to 99 voice mailboxes and incoming voicemails can be routed to specific people / groups. It also allows you to send a voice e-mail (V E-Mail) which is fun if you’re tired of typing Lotus Notes email messages.

Subject: Extrafax is one option
One solution that has impressed me, especially with the really cool options for routing via a bar code (see their product info for details) is Extrafax. This is a Windows platform solution, but it looks like you were prepared for that answer
