I recently bought the orginal MaxFax 3.1 user manuals and 800k floppies from eBay, but they were corrupt.. The firm (Prometheus Products Inc.) seems long gone (?) and I can't find anything but some mentions about the software on the net.. Do anyone have this software? The versions I'm looking for is MaxFax 3.0 or 3.1 because I know these work on my Mac Plus, but I guess it's not limited to only those.. With MaxFax you could transform your macintosh into a voice answering machine/voicemail, and that's what I'm looking for. If anyone know of or have software that could do the same as MaxFax I would be happy as well :-) |

Apple Telecom software will certainly do it, at least on certain systems. I doubt that it would work, however, on any machine that required 800k disks, as it was first introduced in the Quadra 660av/ 840av era. There are a series of versions, and as I recall, somewhere up to around the middle of the series will work on 68k hardware and after that the later and more complete versions run on ppc only. You need to have the right system software, too, but certainly 7.6.1 would be a good choice for the middle versions. It may work only with the Geoport modems; that I am not sure about. I certainly did have it working at one stage on a Centris 660av running 7.6.1 and with a "GeoPod" modem some years ago, and it was a very nice product. You could even administer it remotely by touch-tone phone. Apple Telecom is, happily, a free download (manuals are findable too with a little trouble) from Apple.

Yeah, I found a old version (telephone manager, maybe it's not even the same app?) but it didn't work that well on a plus system. It have to work with System 6.0.8 or System 7.0 etc. I found MaxFax v3.3.2z on a old FTP site, and it partly works. The compressed file I found only had one binary in it, but it seems to miss it's INIT file for the modem part, so I still need the full suit.. Do anyone have the full MaxFax system? Here's how the startup looks: (http://imgur.com/oByiq.png) It let's me start the program, but I cant see anything but disabled menu items so it's pretty useless without the init file.
