java e fax

[Roby]

Hi,

I have to make a software to send fax.
Can I use Java commapi and AT commands?
Where can I find AT commands to send fax?
Can I send a bytes stream (the fax) to modem?

I wouldn't use FAX api (like RJfax).

Thanks for your suggestion!

P.s.: sorry for my not very good English, but I'm an Italian student...

Some people (like me) have a cable modem that uses
ethernet, so comm is not used. See what you have to
support.

Hi Lucy,
thanks for your reply. I've just read something on
http://www.cable-modem.net/tt/primer.html about cable modems. I think they
are not used in Italy (or in my city..). So, I've to support a traditional
dial-up modems.

In your modem's documentation. You will find that most modems only
support the bare-bone basics needed for sending or receiving a fax, and
that you will have to do an incredible amount of protocol handling, data
encoding and decoding in software to get a fax on and of the wire
according to the international telecommunication standards (BTW, you
should obtain the standards, which you have to buy from ITU).

Can I send a bytes stream (the fax) to modem?

You can send a byte stream to the modem. However, the trick is to send
the right byte stream with the right data in the right encoding to the
modem, because the cheap modems do almost nothing for you.
