Basically I see all of those Problems, you mention. And perhaps much
more ;-). So let me go into details and philosophy behind :-).
Indeed I don't like the reinvention of wheels. And for sure
it shall not be a "corner solution". But it will be specialized
to certain aims, that's true.

I simply miss a faxserver for my needs for SMB Clients.
So I extend faxspool/faxrunq and build -finally- a setuproutine
to install it in 10 minutes. And I am not yet sure if it comes
to a code, which can be put into the public. Meanwhile it's my
hobby :-).
