New Detect
Dialtone Feature added to the Fax C++/ActiveX
Version 10.07 of the Fax C++/ActiveX includes
a useful new feature which allows developers to check for a
dialtone on any open port from within their application.
Checking for dialtones is useful to ensure that the end
user’s hardware is correctly connected to a phone line, and
helps to reduce technical support requests.
Utilizing the new Detect Dialtone feature of
the Fax C++/ActiveX is as simple as calling a single
function/method, appropriately named DetectDialtone.
Developers can download an evaluation copy of
the latest Fax C++/ActiveX toolkit from the Black Ice
website at
www.blackice.com and try the new DetectDialtone feature
for themselves.
Renaming the Black Ice Printer Driver Port
Monitor
The latest version (8.73) of the Black Ice
printer drivers allow developers to rename the port
monitor so they can ensure that every Black Ice printer
driver instance has it's own unique monitor for data
handling. Black Ice Software recommends that if developers
are creating an installation which will install multiple
instances of the Black Ice printer drivers on a single
system that they install a separate instance of the port
monitor for each instance of the printer.
To install a separate instance of the port
monitor, simply specify a new port monitor name for each
call of the dInstallBlackIcePrinter() function from the
Install DLL.
