Subject: Après Fax 2.0
Suppose you have a Fax-modem and you want to receive a fax late at
night or during your absence. Up to now the only way to do this was to
keep your Mac running at all times. No longer.
PreFax is a piece of hardware that enables soft power on/off Macs to
be turned on when the attached modem receives a telephone call (or fax
call). The Après Fax control panel shuts down the Mac after a
designated period of time if the Mac was brought to life by the modem.
Together PreFax and Après Fax can be used as an unattended fax
receiving machine.
New in version 2.0
Après Fax can now tell an extension manager (not included) to only
load the extensions necessary to receive faxes. PreFax 2.0 fixes a
problem on newer Macs. Newer Macs, and those running system 7.5.1 and
up, can be shut down by pressing the power key on the keyboard. This
had an annoying side effect with the original Prefax hardware. This
version contains a fix.
