should get notified either through the A] PRINT OUT or B] FAX.

I am a Ruby and Rails newbie, but what you want to do is not  
impossible niether so diffcult. Each order can be an email sent to the  
other server, than that server can print the email. You can use D-bus  
([http://trac.luon.net/data/ruby-dbus/tutorial/intro.html](http://trac.luon.net/data/ruby-dbus/tutorial/intro.html)) which is a  
RPC fot Ruby. You can use remote objects for Ruby: Drb (http://  
[www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/DRb.html](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/DRb.html)).
