Less is more, 2000-04-19
This is the identical, acclaimed software that usually comes bundled with the purchase of a Global Village internal or external modem. It's been reconfigured with special modem scripts and device instructions to work with the stock modem pre-installed in your Mac. Compared with FaxSTF, the fax software bundled with most new iMacs, GlobalFax is obviously superior. Although at first glance it seems to lack some of FaxSTF's features, it's more elegant,intuitive, stable, and therefore Mac-like. The most often used components of the addressbook and setup software are neatly packaged in the same dialog box, and the progress bar appears in the Mac menu instead of cluttering up the screen. It can be configured to sense the difference between a regular incoming call and a fax. When you've received a fax, a small icon flashes in place of the AppleMenu icon. Otherwise operation is mostly transparent. There are a few things I could gripe about. I wish there were a preference to keep the last phone destination loaded. The look of the interface hasn't changed in years - it could use a cosmetic facelift. But for roughly 40 bucks I'd say this is a really worthwhile improvement, especially if you tend to fax to and from your Mac a lot.
