+efax is a small ANSI C/POSIX program that sends and receives faxes
+using any fax modem (Class 1, 2 or 2.0).
+
+efax is smaller and easier to install than HylaFAX or mgetty+sendfax.
+As one user put it ``EFAX is a nice simple program for single user
+systems.''
+
+The ``fax'' command, a shell script, lets you send, receive, view and
+print faxes. In larger systems, faxes can be sent by printing to a
+``fax'' printer and received faxes can be e-mailed as MIME attachments
+to an administrator for distribution. efax can also pass incoming
+data calls to a getty program.
+
+The efax package includes ``efix,'' a program to convert between
+various image file formats. To fax Postscript files you will need
+Ghostscript. To view faxes you can use any program that displays PGM
+files. efix can convert received files to Postscript or HP Laserjet
+formats for printing.
