Re[3]: Secure Faxing

[Mike.Baxter () ashridge org uk (Mike Baxter)]

     www.rightfax.com, www.brooktrout.com?
     
     If you do it through an email interface you could use MIMESwepper to 
     check for virii. Also you can set the server's line on the PBX to not 
     allow incoming calls, and force incoming faxes onto a fax machine. Or 
     if you want to get Management support install ISDN-2 card(s) and 
     distribute the incoming faxes through the internal email system. These 
     faxes would then be logged and can be checked for content (after 
     OCRing). It may be worth doing a 'number of lost faxes per day' study 
     :-).
     
     One thing you may wish to check is the forwards on the telephone 
     system don't go across to your Voice Mail system, and then expose 
     that.
     
     Is this what you meant by secure faxing?
     
     There are other products than RightFax and BrookTrout, you my wish to 
     look at www.octel.com, they integrate in a different way and may be 
     more supportive a 'road warrior' type culture.

     P.S. I have a slight feeling that I may have missed the point of what 
     you meant by 'secure'.

     I know this is off the subject, but does anybody know of a product 
     that allows Secure Faxing. I'm not real comfortable with the idea of 
     users hanging modems off their desk and circumventing the firewall

Port 137 is used by Windows machines as part of their name 
resolution.  This may occur anytime your firewall's external address 
communicates with a windows machine.
     
If you are logging emails, web access, ftp, telnet, etc, see if you 
can match the inbound 137 attempts to addresses in the other logs 
at about the same time.
