Preface

Here I would like to present everybody interested in fax reception with switched off computer, my 'FAXCON' - project.

This is a fax buffer based on the micro-controller 80C32. It can be build yourself with some soldering experience. In order to simplify this, among other things a finished board is available here.

Everybody who is interested in FAXCON and wants to get some information, should have a look at the section texts and pictures. Additionally and beside further data a test firmware (v1.96, max. 64K memory) can be downloaded under files for download and their contents.

The function of the device is perfect here. However, because of the great variety of fax software and modems I can not guarantee the function for all possible constellations. If incompatibilities should consist, I will solve these, so far possible to me.

Beyond that I do not take over any liability for damage resulting from the application. If someone should discover errors in the texts and figures, I would be grateful for a short note.


Note to the test in c't 10/99 (german edition):

The problems with forwarding faxes to WinFax only appeared when using fax class 1 and partly class 2.0.
I found the reasons for that in the meantime. The current firmware version runs without problems.
Fax class 2 was not concerned at all.

Overview

Substantial features

Conditions for operation

Extensions of the device functions are possible (both firmware and hardware related). If suggestions should come from users, then I will implement these as far as possible to me.
