13.1. Using a faxmodem
There are a number of fax programs out there that will let you fax
and receive documents. One of the most powerful is Sam Leffler's
HylaFAX
. It supports all sorts of things
from multiple modems to broadcasting.
SuSE ships a Java HylaFax client which allegedly works on any Java
platform (including Windows and GNU/Linux). There are also non-Java
fax clients for most platforms; GNU/Linux can almost certainly handle
your network faxing needs.
Also available, and a better choice for smaller installations, is
efax
, a simple program which sends and receives faxes. The
getty program mgetty can receive faxes using efax (and do voicemail or interactive logins).
