Summary: Waste of time-very unprofessional-should be"shareware"
Review: From reading the box, this product looked great. After installation, it was a different story. The box says it has professional templates to help you produce professional looking faxes. The reality is that the cover sheet templates are blank pages that you create and edit from scratch. I spent half a day trying to create a good looking cover sheet and they all looked terrible! In addition, the alignment of the cover sheets looked different on the screen than on the actual fax printout. You also cannot import any images other than paint images, so we could not get our company logo on the cover sheet. Being completely frustrated by the cover sheets, I tried importing Word fax templates into the software with no success. I also tried using the Fax Wizard within Microsoft Word to send faxes using this software and that did not work either. I have advanced experience in software applications and I found this program extremely difficult and frustrating to use. I would have been ashamed to send any fax using the cover sheets they had. They looked completely unprofessional. A total waste of time and money.

Review: I found this program to be a total waste of an entire afternoon. It had no cover page templates as advertised, you had to create your own in a very awkward, slow, child-like interface. I had to fax a 5 page report I had scanned, and I couldn't even import my saved pages into the program! I don't know how many approaches I tried before giving up. The box said compatible with Win95/98, however the pamphlet said only Win95/NT. It ran slow in my Win98SE, and balked in the cover page edit mode, and I repeatedly shut it down and reopened it trying to desparately make a cover page. This program should be offered as a 'shareware' download. I, for sure, wouldn't have paid for it after a trial use! BUYER BEWARE! I would have given this '0' stars if I could have.

Summary: NOT RECOMMENDED
Review: I tried to use this software on a system running windows 98. I had problems using my modem for dial up networking after sending a fax. The only way around it was to restart the computer. The box claims windows 98 compatibility but nowhere in the product manual or online help does it mention it. It also claims to come on CD-ROM. My original order and replacement order arrived as 3.5 floppies. My opinion is that this is just a repackaged product that may have worked with Win/95 or NT. I wasted a lot of valuable time trying to get it to work.Don't waste yours!

Summary: Not impressed
Review: I would have given the program "0" stars if that had been a choice. The program was fairly easy to install and use, however, my dissatisfaction came with what was received on the other end. I was attempting to fax a 3 page resume to prospective employeers. What they got on the other end was 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pages, and the font size was Ariel 6 point. It requiered magnification to read. The original document was Times New Roman 12 & 14 point. That was bad enough, but then, the justification was all messed up and some words were run together. I sent out about 15 resumes when I finally found out what they were getting. I have to wonder how many of them never called me because of what they were viewing as a professional resume? It also wouldn't let me paste in my 4 scanned letters of recommendation, but I was willing to live with that inconvenience. I returned the product and took it out of my computer. I'll pay the dollar a page (times 7 for the complete resume) to fax from Office Depot! This was no long term savings!

Summary: Excellent performance!
Review: I've purchased at least 5 fax programs over the past 5 years, and none worked very well until I got this one. It loaded in no time. I opened a legal document in MS Word, and faxed it as a test, and Voila! it sent it immediately. The copy received at the fax location was perfect. I have a 56KFlex modem, and a DSL line. There was no conflict. This is a streamlined, slick program, without all the extras you don't need,use or want. It faxes. It does group broadcasts. It does what it says it does. Buy it if you want a small and reliable piece of software. (By the way, a few months ago I used iCommunicate and it ruined my Explorer file, which caused my entire system to crash. I had to get a new computer it was so bad.! )

Summary: Total waste of money
Review: This product is the pits. Sellers should be ashamed for even carrying such a useless product. You can't fax multiple documents, their cover sheets are a joke, and God forbid you write email to their technical support staff for help because you never hear back from them. You can't even import a Word document into a cover sheet, so if you plan to use this for resumes forget it. Whoever programmed this software must never have completed the basics in programming classes because there are so many problems with this software I can't even BEGIN to list them all. Just save your money and try something else. Personally I've found Procomm to be the best program for faxing multiple documents and that's the program I'll end up buying to replace this useless Total Fax junk.
