d:\fd\xrdos send /f%1 /r2:000/000 /n3 /mb+

Here I use XRobot 301 for dos to send me the notification of a fax
/F%1 uses the second part of bgfax's dofax.bat to find the file
/r is your address
/n3 is user number 3 in my fdsetup (called "FAX")
/mb+ sets the fax attach msg attribute

d:\fd\xrdos send /f%1 /r2:000/000 /n3 /mb+

c:\bgfax /send %1 232 343 5566

this would announce the fax in your netmail folder, then attempt to
forward the fax to 232 343 556 using the information in your bgfax.cnf
file.

Updated 09/09/93

bgfax now supports fax transmission from the commandline (beta 5)

adding a suitable command to your exeprint.bat should allow the
received fax to be retransmitted/forwarded if you wish. Possible
 uses could be if you are expecting an important an important fax
and will not be at your machine but at another location with a
suitable fax. The problem is all faxes received until your return
would be forwarded, unless you modified or changed the batchfile
remotely.
This requires that you edit the bgfax.cnf file to suit your modem
and set an environment variable to point at its location. Full
details of this can be found in the bgfax documentation.

Updated 25/8/93

bgfax now makes a doprint.bat which calls exeprint.bat

with beta 02 dofax.bat exefax.bat

Known Bugs

xrobot doesn't recognize the $task$ in the fd logname.
