7 Sending faxes with LANCAPI

LANCAPI from LANCOM Systems is a special version of the popular CAPI inter-

face. CAPI (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface) establishes the

connection between ISDN adapters and communications programs. For their

part, these programs provide the computers with office communications func-

tions such as a fax machine or answering machine.

The main advantages of using LANCAPI are economic. LANCAPI provides all

Windows workstations integrated in the LAN (local-area network) with unli-

mited access to office communications functions such as fax machines, ans-

wering machines, online banking and eurofile transfer. All functions are

supplied via the network without the necessity of additional hardware at each

individual workstation, thus eliminating the costs of equipping the worksta-

tions with ISDN adapters or modems. All you need do is install the office com-

munications software on the individual workstations.
