Connector API / ASCII Packet / ClarityNS
Licensing: The Connector API requires the API feature.
The Connector API for NET SatisFAXtion offers developers a simple means of
sending faxes, by creating structured text files, or “ASCII packets,” that contain
all of the sending parameters for a fax or fax broadcast. Originally developed as
an interface to NET SatisFAXtion for FaxBack fax-on-demand products, this API is
ideal for sending faxes from applications written in any language, and even
those running on a mainframe or non-PC system.
The documentation here is only concerned with configuring the Connector API
module. For programming documentation, please refer to the FaxBack
developer web site,

packets. This can either be a local directory or a UNC path to a remote directory.

directory (see
