I'm a newbie to AS. By newbie i mean I have yet to code a single line
of AppleScript code, but hope to develop an understanding of it and
eventually be able to develop minor scripts/applications. For now i
have one small project i need help with...
I have an old iMac set up as my fax machine. I don't use it for
anything else so it usually sits there idling away. Can i easily set
up some kind of voice alert on the iMac to say "You've received a
FAX!" and pop up a dialog on my workstation that's on the same
network? I have it set up to email the fax to me, but that's not
working at all...no matter what i try and it seems to be a problem
others are experiencing so i thought this might be a good workaround.
What operating system? One of the first two links on this page can help
you if you're on OS X:

One more question. If a person wanted to start learning AS where
should one start. Most of the books and other resources i've found
seem to be more reference material for someone with some AS
experience. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in
advance!
If I had to do it all over again, I feel that the freshly-published
AppleScript: The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly) would do it best and
fastest.
