Faxing In Sql Reporting Services

I have read a couple of references to creating "Custom Delivery Extensions", which could potentially handle faxing from a sql report. However I havent got any further than that.


Can anyone point me to a link or give me some idea as to how I might go about this.

Thanks,

Efax provides a web service for faxing documents.

http://www.efaxdeveloper.com/developer/twa/page/howWorks

So you could write a delivery extension that interfaces with this web service or you can use the email delivery extension to deliver it to a certain email address and have you app check this mailbox periodically and then fax out any reports it receives.

Please note that I am not endorsing efax or claiming its suitable for your purposes. I am merely suggesting a place to begin your investigations.
