+(excerpt from HylaFAX FAQ, http://www.vix.com/hylafax/FAQ/Q1.html)
+
+ HylaFAX is a facsimile system for UNIX systems. It supports:
+ o sending facsimile
+ o receiving facsimile
+ o polled retrieval of facsimile
+ o transparent shared data use of the modem
+ o sending messages to pagers
+ Facsimile can be any size (e.g. A4, B4), either 98 or 196 lpi, and
+ transmitted/received as either 1D-encoded or 2D-encoded facsimile data
+ (2D-encoded data is frequently more compact and hence takes a shorter
+ time to communicate). Any modem that supports one of the standard
+ interfaces for facsimile operation can be used; i.e. any Class 1, Class
+ 2, or Class 2.0 modem.
