NOTES:
* This FixPak requires the FaxRouter V3.0 Base Level Product software.
* This FixPak is cumulative, and contains the contents of all
prior FixPaks.
* This FixPak does not modify the user-created files such as the
receive list, the log files or the user list.
* Before starting FixPak installation, shutdown and restart to ensure
that no FaxRouter components are running. Windows NT users should also
close any FXS* components using the Windows NT Task Manager, but this
is not always successful. Logoff followed by logon is also not adequate to
reset the running programs.

- This FixPak adds operating system exception handling to the server.
This will prevent most program errors from causing the FaxRouter
server from stopping. A new .CMD file is shipped with FaxRouter called
FXSEXCPT.CMD. There is a copy in both the W32BIN and OS2BIN directories.
When a system failure occurs, a failure log entry is written to file
POPUPLOG.TRC. The .CMD file will use the system editor to edit this
file. You may edit this file for your purposes (add notifications for
example).

will add the W32BIN directory to the PATH on Windows 95/98, which is
part of the fix for APAR IC22341. If you find the PATH is not updated
after the FixPak is installed, run the following from the command line
W16BIN\ADDUSER /Q /S

IC21964 FXSW0085E Message Starting AFP Viewer
New Features and Other Notes
----------------------------
- IC21499 adds unified logon capability to the OS/2 FaxRouter Server
This is operatational with the following conditions and limitations:
+ The Server has "Windows NT Unified Logon" enabled.
+ The Workstation is running Windows NT. Other platforms are not
supported.
+ The OS/2 server verifies that the user is a valid userid, but
password verification is not performed.
+ This environment is not nearly as secure as using Windows NT
on the FaxRouter Server. To ensure full security when using
OS/2 as the server, make sure that "Windows NT Unified Logon"
is not enabled when using OS/2 as your FaxRouter Server platform.
- IC21819 was partially corrected by a change in installation. To get
this fix you must either re-install, or create a shortcut to
FXSWINNT.EXE in your startup folder.
- IC21863 does not correct a problem using legal size page dimensions
on the OS/2 FaxRouter Virtual Printer. This will be corrected in
a later FixPak.

New Features and Changes
------------------------
- New Routing methods have been added
FaxRouter MAPI Routing
- On the server, the properties panel for "Identification"
has been updated to obtain MAPI profile information.
You can configure the server to use MAPI or VIM but not both.
MAPI is available for Windows NT only. When setting up a user
for MAPI routing or notification, the user should be set
up like VIM, with the required routing data being the user's
MAPI mail address.
FaxRouter CopyFile Routing
- This routing method will copy the files to a specified
directory. This directory is used by the FaxRouter Server.
The image file and the receive list entry (a .LIS file)
is copied into the specified directory and then
the entry is removed from the FaxRouter receive list.
FaxRouter CMD Routing
- Any command can be issued. The additional routing data is
the command to issue. It will be passed the userid and
the image filename.
- New Notification Methods have been added
FaxRouter MAPI Notification
- Works just like the MAPI routing above.
FaxRouter CMD Notification
- Any command can be issued. The additional notification data is
the command to issue. It will be passed as parameters
* the FaxRouter Userid
* the Message (in double quotes)
- A "Simulated" fax card setting has been added.
FaxRouter does not require any cards using this
setting. This is useful for testing or giving
demonstrations. The server and client start and appear
to operate in the same manner as when cards are
installed. The differences are as follows:
* Send transactions will be routed as an incoming fax.
* The target phone number will be listed in the receive
list as the sender's station id.
* Any phone number starting with an non-numeric character
(one of the pause characters +-=,) will generate a send
error. The transaction will be retried but it will
always fail.
* If the target phone number has a pause separating two
or more numeric sections, the last numeric section will
be interpreted as a routing code. For example, if the
target phone number is 555-1212-555, '555' will
be interpreted as the incoming routing code. The number
may end with the '#' sign but it is not required.
- You can configure the FaxRouter Server to save Send Transactions
* To save Send transactions that fail, create a directory
called SEND.ERR in the main FaxRouter directory. All files
for the transaction will be copied here if there is an error.
Please note that if the transaction sends successfully
on a retry, these files will NOT be deleted.
* To save Send transactions that completed, create a
directory called SEND.OK in the main FaxRouter directory.
All files for the transaction will be copied here.
- The default password can be configured.
If the file DEFAULT.PWD exists in the server DATA directory,
the first line of the file will be used to determine
the default password to be used for an installation.
- If the file does not exist, or the first line is
blank, the default password will be "password". This
was the previous behaviour.
- If the first line of DEFAULT.PWD starts with a '*', the
userid will also be the password. Please note that because
all FaxRouter userids are upper case, the password (which
is case sensitive) must be entered in UPPER CASE with this
option.
- If the first line of DEFAULT.PWD starts with a '&', the
userid in LOWER CASE will be the password.
- If the first line does not start with either of these
characters, but is not blank, then the default password
will be the contents of the line. Please remember that
passwords are case sensitive.
- A command line utility to stop and restart the server is now
provided. FXSREST.EXE will shut down the server from a command line
and then restart it. Use FXSREST /h for the command-line options.
- The settings for the server VIM database path, VIM/MAPI userid
and password has been moved from HKEY_CURRENT_USER to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. The previous settings will be ignored. After
installing this FixPak 02, please reconfigure these items.
- The FaxRouter Workstation has several new features.
* All panels now use the 3D controls library. The fixpak
installation will copy the required DLL if it is not already
installed.
* The right mouse button will display a pop-up menu on the
Receive list for the selected item.
* There are more status messages when there is communications
with the server.
* The administrator panel for the user list will allow a
password change for any and all users. This allows an
administrator to reset a user password. After selecting
the user from the list, press the "password" button to enter
a new password. The existing password does not need to
be entered to change the password.
* A number of panels have been optimized and fields repositioned.
