APPENDIX E Faximum Installation Service
If you would prefer, Faximum Software provides a software installation service for all of its products. If your computer has a dial-up or telnet connection, one of Faximum Software's engineers can dial up your computer and perform the necessary network configuration and software installation. There is, of course, a modest fee for this service. Please contact Faximum Sales (+1 604 925 3600, sales@faximum.com) for further information and to arrange for us to handle your installation.
In order to have the information necessary to plan the installation, Faximum will need the answers to the following questions. If you would prefer to discuss any of these questions with an installation engineer in order to fully understand the ramiftions of each installation option this also can be arranged as part of the installation service.
