Linux Fax Servers
The ultimate in fax sending and receiving – a Linux Fax Server is the ideal choice for any business that sends or receives large numbers of faxes each month. CCS Africa has many solutions that cater to any sized business (with any number of users), and each server can handle multiple fax lines; ensuring ease of use.
What is Linux?
Linux is an Open Source operating system that has the capability of replacing mainstream operating systems such as Microsoft Windows in everyday office and personal use. In addition, Linux can also be used to run servers in datacentres, and it has many applications and software that is available – generally at little or no cost.

A set of software run on a server computer which is fitted with fax modems and linked to telephone lines is a fax server. It has a dedicated faxing function, and users are able to convert documents to faxes and fax them out, and vice versa. In general, information transfer is centralised on a local network.

A Linux fax server is then a combination of fax software run on a server computer that uses Linux as its operating system.
How can this type of fax server benefit your business?
The use of a Linux fax server can benefit businesses in many ways, including:
- Linux as an operating system is free, which allows businesses of all sizes and turnover to utilise it.
- The monthly cost on purchasing paper is reduced, due to the fact that the entire process is digital. Any file can be faxed without having to first print the document.
- The sending and receiving of faxes can be done from any location; you don’t even have to leave your desk.
- The CCS Africa Linux fax servers can handle multiple fax lines, which means that there will no longer be queuing to fax. The system will automatically queue the information and send as appropriate (while simultaneously receiving faxes).
- Costs are saved on malfunctioning fax printers which have a tendency to jam and require monthly maintenance – especially for high volume fax machines.
- Additional functionality such as recording the faxes sent and received by staff can be implemented.
- Various user interfaces are available, and incoming faxes can be stored and accessed in a way that best suits your business. Instead of saving the received fax on a server for later access, an email message will be sent to the recipient alerting them of the receipt of the fax. The fax itself can be included as an attachment.
CCS Africa provides Linux fax server solutions that are cost-effective, efficient, and reliable.
