Ich versteh gar nicht, warum AVM diese neue Funktion im hintersten Winkel ihrer Website verstecken. In diversen Foren wird seit langem genau danach gerufen: Die Fritz!Box soll Faxe entgegennehmen und automatisch an eine Emailadresse weiterleiten. Nun ist es so weit! Jedenfalls für die Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7170.

Und so geht's:

1. Labor-Version 29.04.97-8853 der Firmware runterladen. Die gibt's hier: http://www.avm.de/de/Service/Service-Portale/Service-Portal/Labor/labor_download_telefonie/labor_download_telefonie.php

2. Man folge den auf o.g. Seite beschriebenen Schritten zur Sicherung der bestehenden Einstellungen und Installation der neuen Firmware. (Anleitung ist auch in der zip-Datei enthalten)

3. Nachdem die Fritz!Box neu gestartet ist muss man nun nur noch die versteckte Faxempfangsfunktion finden. Die Beschreibung dazu findet sich hier:
http://www.avm.de/de/News/artikel/portal-artikel/tipp_der_woche/14241.html

Ich hab's gleich ausprobiert und mir selbst ein Fax geschickt. Es funktioniert! Wenige sekunden später hatte ich es als tif-Datei in meiner Inbox! Da es sich um eine Beta-Version handelt, könnten natürlich noch ein paar Probleme auftauchen. Wer sich darauf also nicht einlassen will, sollte noch eine Weile warten, bis die Funktion in die regulären Firmware-Updates integriert ist. (Womit doch wohl zu rechnen ist, oder?)

I'm not sure what use it is to write this here, but maybe someone finds the solution to this problem? At least this is a kind of archive for me to remind me of what I found so far to solve the problem.
Which problem is he talking about anyway? If I want to convert a tex-document to an odt-document using oolatex.exe (BTW: I'm working on Win XP), I very often don't get any odt file at all because the process stops for different reasons. And even when I got an odt-document once, OpenOffice could not read it.

One Problem in this whole chaos was that towards the end of the converting process a program called zip.exe is called (if I get it right, an odt-file is a zip-archive made up of several folders (e.g. a pictures-folder) and some xml-files). But I had no zip.exe on my system. I downloaded info-zip and just put it in the windows-folder, cause I knew it would be found there and that solved the problem. But as I said, there are some more and here are some ressources related to it. Maybe you can make sense of them (unfortunately I have no time to go through them more thoroughly myself):

... and lots more to find if you google for oolatex...

P.S. What I don't understand is: how does mk4ht work on windows? It's a perl-script so am I supposed to install perl on windows or what?

Today, I've tried to solve the problem of why my LaTeX-installation (MikTex) produces pdf-files instead of dvi-files with some documents, even though I have set the output profile to LaTeX => DVI in TexnicCenter. Since I have collected some references which where not that easy to find, I just post them here:

The clearest answer seems to be this one:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-tetex-maint/2006/01/msg00409.html"
and similarly this one:
http://www.issa.stevens.edu/cgi-bin/query-pr-full?pr=2937

yes, it is as these people write: in the tex-file in question I do find this:
\newif\ifpdf
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
\pdffalse
\else
\pdfoutput=1
\pdftrue
\fi

(It is in fact from a template by Mark Müller, based on KOMA-script. I think it came with TexnicCenter)

I have replaced the first two line with

\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf

But a pdf-environment is still detected (and thus pdf instead of dvi produced), I don't know why... :-((

Here are some more documents I googled:
The description of the \ifpdf package:
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/ifpdf.pdf

and a manual which still uses the old pdf-detection, which - according to the sources above - does not work anymore:
