Brian, you don't say specifically what "it" means in "I have it set up to
email the fax to me".
You also don't say what the problem is ("it seems to be a problem others are
experiencing").
Is "it" the fax software? Are "others" co-workers using the same software
and network? What is the problem?
Most iMacs had STF fax software...is that what yours has?
Anyway, as for the voice notice...
You could use a Folder Action attached to whatever default folder your
software uses to save incoming faxes ... if they are saved as external
files.
The speech software installed by OS 9.x also contains an OSAX -- an
AppleScript command add-on -- that adds the command 'say'.
You can then use script code like this:
say "you have a fax"
For more on FolderActions, see the pre-installed FA's and Help info on the
iMac. There are also some sample scripts that you can very easily edit,
adding whatever short code you need.
