Delrina WinFax PRO 
for Networks 3.0             README Notes            November 23, 1993
======================================================================

The following information reflects changes made since the Delrina 
WinFax PRO for Networks Setup and User's Guides went to press, and 
should be reviewed prior to running WinFax PRO for Networks.

Where applicable, these notes refer to sections in the 
Delrina WinFax PRO for Networks Setup and User's Guides.



Installing WinFax while Other Programs are Running
==================================================
Run as few other programs as possible while installing 
WinFax PRO for Networks.

If possible, move all program icons out of the Startup group 
in the Program Manager and restart Windows before installing 
WinFax PRO for Networks. This minimizes the potential for 
conflicts with other programs during the installation.

Once WinFax PRO for Networks has been properly installed and
configured, you can restore the Startup group's program icons.


Installing WinFax PRO for Networks over WinFax PRO 3.0
======================================================
When installing WinFax PRO for Networks User over an existing 
installation of WinFax PRO 3.0, install to the same directory where 
WinFax PRO 3.0 is installed. If you install to a different directory, 
you will have to re-enter your name, company name, fax number and 
voice number.


Installing WinFax PRO for Networks DOS Server
Delrina WinFax PRO for Networks Setup Guide, page 3-30
======================================================
To install the DOS Server program, first change to the disk drive, 
then run the install program:

   install

Do not include the drive letter in the command used to start the install
(for example, A:\INSTALL).


Installing WinFax PRO for Networks DOS Server
=============================================
To force WinFax PRO for Networks DOS Server to install in text mode, 
add the text parameter to the install command as follows:

   install /text



Installing WinFax PRO for Networks 
when WinFax is the Default Printer Driver
=========================================
If you are upgrading or installing over an existing copy of 
WinFax, make sure the WinFax printer driver is NOT the Windows 
default printer driver.

To change the default Windows printer driver, use the 
Windows Control Panel to select another printer as the Windows default.
(For more information, see the Microsoft Windows User's Guide.)

Exit and restart Windows before installing WinFax PRO for Networks.


Upgrading an Existing Copy of WinFax PRO with Fax Broadcast 
to WinFax PRO for Networks
===========================================================
Delrina Fax Broadcast is designed to work with the standalone version 
of Delrina WinFax PRO 3.0 only. If you currently have Delrina Fax 
Broadcast installed with your copy of WinFax PRO, do not upgrade that 
copy to WinFax PRO for Networks.


Specifying a Workgroup Name During Setup on a Novell Network
============================================================
If you are logged into a Novell file server, you can select the 
fax Workgroup Name from a list of Workgroup Names.

If you have loaded IPX, but have not logged into a Novell file server,
the Workgroup Name list will be empty. If the name list is empty, enter 
an existing fax Workgroup Name.

Other workgroup information (User names, fax/modem groups, etc.) will be 
visible once you enter the correct Workgroup Name.


Setting Up an Intel SatisFAXtion Classic, 200, 350 or 400 Fax/Modem
===================================================================
When you set up your SatisFAXtion Classic, 200, 350 or 400 fax/modem, 
the data modem will not be usable until you load the WinFax PRO for
Networks TSRs. The data modem will remain active when you unload the 
TSRs.

The Delrina WinFax PRO for Networks Setup Guide, page 4-12, 
describes the I/O Base Address field for SatisFAXtion type fax/modems. 
The name of this field has changed to the Fax Base Address field 
and the Data Modem Address field has been added. If you intend to
use your SatisFAXtion data modem, select the address for the 
data modem. Be sure to select a data modem address that does not 
conflict with the fax/modem setting.

Note: You cannot enable or change the SatisFAXtion data modem 
from the SETUPDOS program. However, if the data modem is already 
enabled, SETUPDOS will not change or disable the data modem settings.


Setting Up Fax/Modems 
(Delrina WinFax PRO for Networks Setup Guide, page 4-9)
======================================================= 
If you have a Class 1 or Class 2 fax/modem, the comma delay will 
always be 2 seconds, regardless of the setting you enter in the 
Comma Delay field.


Setting Up SatisFAXtion Fax/Modems for Data and Fax
===================================================
If you are using your SatisFAXtion fax/modem for both data and fax
communications, the data modem and fax modem must be set to answer 
after a different number of rings. A conflict occurs when both the 
fax and data modem answer after the same number of rings.


Setting Up WinFax PRO for Networks 
DOS Server with an 8514 type video card
=======================================
If you have an 8514 type video card do not attempt to test COM4 
during setup using the Check for Modems button.


Setting up WinFax PRO for Networks DOS Server
=============================================
SETUPDOS requires at least 530K DOS memory to run.

If you have less than 530K available, you may experience errors
during setup.


Using the Novell Netware Lite Disk Cache Utility
================================================
Do not use the disk cache program that comes with Netware Lite.

Use the Microsoft SmartDRV disk cache instead, which is
more compatible with WinFax PRO for Networks.


Using a Shared WinFax PRO for Networks Server or User
=====================================================
If you are running WinFax PRO for Networks from a shared network
drive, do not disconnect from the network before unloading the TSRs. 
If you do, you will get the following message when you run Windows ...

   Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows
   in 386 enhanced mode. You need to run setup again.

... and WinFax PRO for Networks will become unreliable.


Using Windows for Workgroups
============================
If you are using Windows for Workgroups and are not connected to a 
Novell network, edit the NET START line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, 
appending the parameter NETBEUI to the end of this line.

The line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file should now read:

   NET START NETBEUI

This will allow the network services (NETBEUI) to be loaded
before the Delrina WinFax PRO for Networks TSRs attempt to load.


Using Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Novell Netware
====================================================
If you experience errors installing WinFax PRO for Networks in 
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 using Novell Netware, or you experience 
slowdowns when accessing shared drives on other Windows for Workgroups 
computers, you may need to do the following:
 
Change the following entry in the SYSTEM.INI...

   transport=NWLINK.386,nwnblink.386,netbeui.386

... to look like this:

   transport=VIPX.386,nwnblink.386,netbeui.386

If you do not have VIPX.386 in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, download 
the file from the Novell section of Compuserve, or contact your local 
Novell support contact.


Using MSIPX on a Novell Network
===============================
If you are connected to a Novell network and your computer uses MSIPX,
a network driver provided with early versions of Windows for 
Workgroups, you may need to replace the MSIPX driver with a newer 
IPXODI driver. Using IPXODI in place of MSIPX often improves network 
fax reliability.


Using LANtastic 4.x and 5.x, Windows for Workgroups 
NETBEUI and Other NETBIOS Networks
===================================================
If you are using LANtastic 4.x or 5.x, Windows for Workgroups NETBEUI, 
or other NETBIOS networks, configure your NETBIOS/NETBEUI network 
drivers to provide at least 64 NCBS, and 32 SESSIONS. This will ensure 
that you have enough NCBS and SESSIONS to support network faxing, plus 
other applications(for example, shared disks, printers, E-Mail).

Increase the number of NCBS by at least 32 (or increase it to 64, 
whichever is greater) for optimum performance with WinFax PRO for 
Networks. 
                                                                     
                                                                               
Receiving Faxes on an Intel SatisFAXtion Classic or SatisFAXtion 200
====================================================================
Your SatisFAXtion Classic or 200 fax/modem may not respond if your
ring signal is not the same as the phone company's (for example, 
a non-standard PBX signal).


Limiting Fax Baud Rates
=======================
You may want to limit maximum transmission speed if your fax/modem
is not competent at high fax speeds, or you want to improve the 
quality of faxes you send long distance over noisy lines.

You may want to limit minimum transmission speed to prevent slow fax
transmissions over noisy long distance phone lines. If the line is too
poor to support the minimum allowed speed, WinFax PRO for Networks will
hang up and retry the call.

To limit fax transmission or reception speeds, remove the speeds
you do not want WinFax PRO for Networks to use from the following lines
in your WFXNET.INI file:

   allowed_send_baud_rates=14400,12000,9600,7200,4800,2400
   allowed_receive_baud_rates=14400,12000,9600,7200,4800,2400

These settings are separately defined for each fax/modem.

Note that WinFax PRO for Networks will not attempt to use a fax
speed your fax/modem is not capable of.


Using Shared IRQ COM Ports
==========================
If you are using shared IRQ ports and you run Windows in Standard 
Mode, do not use a data communications application to access one 
of the fax/modems.


Using a Xircom Network Adapter
==============================
If your computer uses a Xircom network adapter and you have shared
or private fax/modems, you may experience network fax reliability
problems. Move the fax/modems to another computer, or change the 
network adapter.


Using Intel SatisFAXtion File Transfer
======================================
WinFax PRO for Networks currently does not support the file transfer 
capability of Intel SatisFAXtion fax/modems.

If a SatisFAXtion fax/modem using Intel software attempts to call
and invoke a file transfer, WinFax PRO for Networks will answer, 
then hang up.


Running Low on Disk Space
=========================
If you have less than 1MB of available disk space on the drive where
WinFax is installed, the WinFax PRO for Networks TSRs will not load.
The following message appears:

   You do not have sufficient disk space to run WinFax PRO for 
   Networks.
   Free at least 1MB of disk space.

If the amount of available disk space drops below 1MB while the TSRs 
are loaded, you will not be able to send or receive faxes, and your 
user name will be removed from the active user list. When you free the 
disk space, your user name will be added to the list again (after a 
short delay), and you will be able to send and receive faxes.

 
Conflicting Interrupt Settings
==============================
If you are using WinFax PRO for Networks on a port with an interrupt 
setting that conflicts with another device (for example, a mouse), you 
may get the following error message:

   IRQ_CONFLICT_TEST...

Change the IRQ setting for one of the conflicting devices.


Overrun and Underrun Error Messages in the Send and Receive Logs
================================================================
If your send or receive logs display overrun or underrun messages for 
failed events, WinFax PRO for Networks is having trouble moving fax 
data over the network. This is more likely to occur when there are 
multiple fax/modems on the same computer, particularly on a slow 386 
computer running Windows in 386 enhanced mode.

Review your network settings for sufficient network resources and
check that other applications are not overloading the network.


Monitoring Tool Icons
=====================
In the Monitoring Tool, fax/modem icons are used to differentiate 
between private, shared, stolen (fax/modem is being used by other 
software, for example, data communications) and defective fax/modems.


Using Delrina DosFax
====================
If you have Delrina DosFax 2.0 or earlier, you need to upgrade to a 
newer DosFax version that is compatible with WinFax PRO for Networks 3.0

Do not use DosFax 2.0 (or older) at the same time as WinFax PRO for Networks.
You can continue to use your old DosFax, but do not load both programs
at the same time.  

Also, do not install DosFax and WinFax PRO for Networks into the same directory, 
and do not share the same data directory between the two programs.


Using Send Only Fax/Modems
==========================
Fax/modems designated as Send Only are not fully supported for
port contention with Windows Communications applications.

If you need to use a fax/modem for data communications applications,
define it as Send & Receive and enable the Manual Receive Only checkbox.


Disabling Display Call Progress, Delrina WinFax PRO User's Guide, page 3-32
===========================================================================
If you disable Display Call Progress, the status message area in the bottom
left corner of the main WinFax PRO for Networks application window will not
reflect the fax/modem state.  It will say Ready or Idle, even when faxes are 
in progress.


Printing Faxes to PostScript Printers
=====================================
PostScript printers will take several minutes per page to print faxes.

If your PostScript printer also supports HP PCL emulation 
(for example, HP LaserJet II), printing will be much faster if you 
print to your PostScript printer using an HP PCL printer driver.
