This would probably work, but, I have my fax directories set so that
only root and fax can write to them for security reasons. Just thought
that a frontend that a little program would be convenient especially
for users who are not technical enough to perform an ftp. A lot of our
people at work have no unix experience at all, and a lot would be
dangerous with a little knowledge, and then there are some that would
prefer not to learn, but instead use a gui that is easy for them to use.
