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.
