Efax
|
|
|
|
efax is a relatively small ANSI C/POSIX program that provides the
|
|
data transport function for fax applications. A simple shell
|
|
script (``fax'') is included in the distribution to let you
|
|
create, send, receive, view and print faxes.
|
|
|
|
efax is smaller and easier to install than HylaFax(FlexFax), NetFax, or
|
|
mgetty+sendfax. It uses your system's own getty to handle
|
|
incoming data calls. As one user put it, ``EFAX is a nice simple
|
|
program for single user systems.''
|
|
|
|
The package now includes the ``efix'' program to convert text,
|
|
fax or PBM files into fax, PBM, PGM, HP-PCL or Postscript files.
|
|
To fax Postscript images you will need Ghostscript. To preview
|
|
faxes you will need a PGM file viewer (e.g. xv or xloadimage).
|
|
If you don't have a PCL or Postscript printer you will need an
|
|
appropriate conversion program (e.g. pbmtoepson or Ghostscript) .
