Once these orders are accepted they need to be immediately forwarded to one of a variety of fax numbers for immediate time-sensitive fulfillment. So I need a way of faxing lots of webcat orders securely (they contain confidential info) and receiving status feedback as to the success of the fax. I would like to outsource the faxing work to a dedicated fax serving company. > >Has anyone implemented a solution for such a situation?

So, I could send the orders from WebCat by email, have them send the fax and check the status on their website using the TCP context (I have no experience yet with the TCP context). The major shortcoming in this is that email isn't a secure solution. Netmoves offers a set of API's (for Windows only) to construct an application on your server to communicate with them. However, writing such an app is currently beyond me and I don't want to commit to NT anyway. Is there some way I could use the TCP context to open an ssl session with a web page? > >Robert Schmidt >rschmidt@constructs.com > >------------------------------------------------------------- >Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server. >To end your Mail problems go to . > >This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list . >To unsubscribe, E-mail to: >To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to --------------------------------- John A.
