Samba PDF Email

[Robert Meyer]

Just a thought... You could install Hylafax on Linux and use one of the Hylafax
clients on windows.  I've done this before.  You might have to mangle the
windows end to fill in the information from the driver but I think that one of
the client programs is written in python, you might be able to modify it to
accept the destination information from the business system as command line
arguments.

Just a thought...

Cheers!
