Here is a feature, that should be fairly simple to add to the Obi110.
Legacy Fax Gateway
Be able to connect a regular fax machine to the Obi110, and when the user dials a fax number, the Obi110 converts it to a pdf (or tiff) file and e-mails it to the fax server of their choice.
I.E. the user punches in 540-555-1212 into their fax machine, the obi converts it to a pdf and sends it to
5405551212@userfaxserver.com, also would be good to have a phone book, so you can add specific entries to the phone book that will be sent via e-mail instead of through the fax server.
i.e. you could have in your phone book 540-555-5555 as
user@mail.com and when the person punches in 540-555-5555 into the fax machine, it converts it to a pdf and emails it to
user@mail.comThere are a couple of different devices that do this, but most are tied to a specific fax service, and the one that wasn't, was priced to high ($500) and the company went out of business (Legacy 3000 Lanlink internet fax --
http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-3000-Lanlink-Internet-System/dp/B0036WFYE6 ) and now the last few remaining stock are being sold off at what should have been the original target price ( $50 to $70 )
Anyway, like I said, this should be fairly easy to add to the Obi110, and all of the setup could be done through the web interface, no need to add any buttons or displays to the Obi110...
There is a huge market for this... the IT guy at most companies could handle the installation, and the users would not need any re-training... and the companies would be able to eliminate their land line fax lines and go with a much more cost effective fax service.
Anyway, I love the Obi110, and I have other uses of it (I installed one recently, and I will be ordering a few more, but if fax was added, I would be buying even more...)
I think you are the guys capable of doing this...
