   I also have this Fax Program.  I took a look at the fax directory of    
   either sent or received files and they all have the filename:   
     FX000011.FAX   
     FX000012.FAX   
       Etc.   
      
   However, this is the "end of the line" file and not the raw info being   
   sent by the sending program over the SAMBA connection to FxPrint.  Not   
   sure how one could do what I suggested in the earlier reply to get RAW   
   output into a file and copy the RAW program output to FxPrint on the    
   OS/2 box.   
      
   Possibly you could print a simple TEXT file to "file" (something from    
   WinOS2-Notepad - print it to a file, try sending it by SAMBA to    
   FxPrint.  Then copy the file over to the OS2 box and "copy file.ext     
   FxPrint"  - see what you get.  Again, I just suggest, I am not an    
   expert here.
