Fax Software

[deadpoint]

i've been using hylafax for a number of years and it's always worked 
great. i wouldn't recommend running on solaris though, solaris doesn't 
support software flow-control for serial devices and this causes 
problems for hylafax. a colleague and myself spent many many hours 
debugging this.

checkout tkhylafax for a nice unix gui client.
