The main advantages of using LANCAPI are economic. LANCAPI provides all Windows workstations integrated in the LAN (local-area network) with unlimited access to office communications functions such as fax machines, answering machines, online banking and eurofile transfer. All functions are supplied via the network without the necessity of additional hardware at each individual workstation, thus eliminating the costs of equipping the workstations with ISDN adapters or modems. All you need do is install the office communications software on the individual workstations.
For example, faxes are sent by simulating a fax machine at the workstation. With LANCAPI, the PC forwards the fax via the network to the router which establishes the connection to the recipient.
