PingWin Fax machine: all free

    Fax, how much in this sound for the heart of the Russian merged, how much it responded to ...
    Each reader heard the signal of this device in the handset, either like mosquito bass, or the rattle of a breaking escalator. True, many have already forgotten how to use it and from which side to insert paper, since the Internet and e-mail have replaced them with the view from the window and other ecology. However, there are also reserved areas where the fax is used for its intended purpose. And these places are not as few as you might think. For example, government agencies. And they send each other circulars, orders, instructions and other documents from morning to evening. So for them, for everyone who is involved in the orbit of their influence, as well as for those who, due to their work, cannot refuse to use paper media in their work, PingVin Software has developed its new product PingWin Fax machine.

    Everyone knows that the new is the well-forgotten old. Well, maybe not forgotten and not quite old, but one that had never occurred to anyone before. To whom from laziness, and to whom as unnecessary. So, finding themselves at a certain period of their history in straitened housing conditions, the Penguin Software team accumulated some money and moved to large bright mansions. And everything in the new house was good: a coffee maker, air conditioners, and a modern engineering infrastructure. Only one thing turned out to be bad: the fax was not sent. That's when the managers remembered with a kind word their old closet with an analog telephone. That's when they put their technical department on the ears: “We want, they say, such a service so that pieces of paper can be sent in commodity quantities several hundred pieces at a time, so that incoming documents come in a personal electronic box, so that a pleasant girlish voice would lead the conversation so that it was impossible to come off at the other end of the wire, and so much more could be done. And if he didn’t know how, he quickly learned it. And they gave the deadline until the evening.
    But I must say that Penguin is not a simple company. A knowledgeable person, having read the name, will immediately understand that the matter is not clean and that it smells free software for a mile away. And he will be right, such a reader will be right a hundred times. What to do, we admit: yes, we are engaged in free software and we advise others. And therefore it is worthless to us to use any proprietorship. Those. give us a solution for open source software, so that for free, so that others can rejoice later. And the techies went to scrape over the guts, and revenge over the barns. And they asked each oncoming cross-section: did he not meet the marvelous? And good people helped, but brought them to overseas wonders. And they were called Asterisk, T38modem, Hylafax and Avantfax. And the penguin techs began to think: “How can we teach these creatures so that they themselves do not bite each other’s heads and leave us alive?” And the cleverest techie Penguin said: "We caress until the file is needed." And right, the smoking room turned out to be. You can tame any animal with caress.

    Only one problem arose. The modem, which is called the T38, unlike the legendary Soviet tank did not want to start. And so it twisted and that way. And all to no purpose. Grunts, sneezes, puffs with black exhaust, but does not want to budge. He had to do surgery. In general, they revealed his illness, and there it wasn’t something that was filled up. Like in an old house in the attic: books interspersed with bicycles, libraries with candied jam. So in these libraries the whole thing turned out. It was just necessary to systematize them in a special way, and to arrange the books in the necessary order. And the modem recovered, and made friends with the rest of the menagerie. And they began to work out such numbers together that everyone around us was moved.
    Here the fairy tale ends, and whoever listened is well done. And as a reward he receives a pickle.

    Just kidding! He receives screenshots, looks and admires ...
