the mgetty distribution contains several several packages developed for
this purpose. I'm using a slightly modified version of the faxfilter
package (frontends/winword). The documentation can be found within the
shellscript.

Caveat: This version fails if the postscript document contains raw
binary data (like the eps files containing our company's logo). I
rewrote the scanner part in C and now everything works fine.

Our Windows users are able to send faxes from Winword, Excel, Powerpoint
and Corel by printing to a "remote postscript printer". We're using WfW,
WinNT and MacOS but the solution should also work on Win95.

PS: I tried to send my modfication to the author of the original
package but my mail bounced. Does anybody have Roland Wundrig's new
mail address?
