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. + +efax is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. |
