freebsd-ports/comms/hylafax/pkg-descr
Julian Stacey 5915f2992d Reviewed by: Earlier draft reviewed by Satoshi (Thanks)
A new import based on Sam Leffler's Hylafax V3.0pl0.   Flexfax is now obsolete.

Import includes & applies the base patch Sam posted on the flexfax mail list
(mail list is still called flexfax, though the package is called Hylafax).

Sam declared our ports/comms/flexfax to be obsolete (over a year old).
Sometime after the CD release, I will post a proposal to remove 
ports/comms/flexfax.

I will maintain ports/comms/hylafax as I need fax capability.

Thanks to Asami Satoshi for suggested improvements,
I leave him to `bless' this port by adding the final
        comms/Makefile: SUBDIR += hylafax
Until he does that, any mistakes I may have made shouldnt break any makes :-)

I've undoubtedly screwed something up, somewhere, its a big port (30M inc bins),please test, Oh... and "Share & Enjoy" :-)

HylaFAX is a facsimile system for UNIXtm systems. Among
the features of HylaFAX are:
- HylaFAX runs as a network service; this means a fax
modem may be effectively shared by a large number of users.
- HylaFAX can be configured to work with a wide variety
of fax modems on a wide variety of systems.
- Access to the system can be restricted by the adminis-
trator to selected hosts and/or users.
- Transmission requests may be processed immediately (default) or queued
for processing at a later time, in the manner of the at(1) command.
- Remote facsimile machines may be polled to retrieve
publicly available documents.
