Anyone know if it's possible to import fax logs, message,
phonebooks, etc. from Winfax (version 9) into Microsoft Fax
Console?


Thanks

No, assuming you mean Windows XP Fax, not Microsoft Fax.
Was WinFax using it's own data source for fax numbers, or Outlook's?

Thanks - I guess it's Windows XP Fax. I'm using XP Pro,
and when I click Help-About, is says "Windows XP Pro,
Microsoft Fax Console, version 5.1"

Are there 2 different programs?

You tell me. "Version 9" sounds to me like Symantec's WinFax Pro, which is
third party software and has nothing at all to do with Windows XP Fax. It
rarely even works on Windows XP.

Yes, it is Winfax version 9. I want to import those
records into Windows XP fax (Microsoft Fax Console, version
5.1).

You're right, Winfax v.9 doesn't work under Windows XP,
though Symantec has a Winfax v10.02, which is supposed to
be OK with Windows XP.

Too bad you bought that. What Symantec does not tell you is that
WinFax Pro does not work anymore over an Internet.
WinFax Pro utilizes port 135 which every ISP now blocks/filters at the
request of Microsoft's request to Homeland Security in our government.

I know it does not answer your question, however, once you have it
installed, it will be impossible now to use over Internet. However, as
a local fax machine, it works great. But so do plenty of freebie softwares
too.

Are you serious? Where did you come up with this one?
Fax uses phone lines, not the Internet. Always has, always will. Please be
more careful to be accurate when posting answers.

Actually, Andreas is corret and you are wrong.
WinFax Pro uses phone and internet; it is capable of communicating
via WinFax-client/WinFax-server. We used to use it to fax our
customers in Japan. However, with the closing of port 135, as ISPs are
doing, the software WinFax Pro no longer works in that capacity.
Yet, Symantec still markets it like it does. Even today!
It works no more.

Not the same. Of course you can send fax requests via the Internet to a fax
service you've hired. That fax service then uses phone lines to send the
fax.
Fax uses phone lines. Period.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??
