Re: PL/SQL to Fax Server

Of course what I forgot to mention in this whole thing is that it had nothing to do with Oracle or PL/SQL or the Web.

Our implementation will have a CGI program that feeds /usr/lib/sendmail the specially formatted e-mail message at response to the user's sending of a comment. The fax server itself takes care of everything else.
