sendfax solution

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hylafax has a Windows Client which captures Postscript output and has a
phone book.  It's what I use for fax.

You could of course use any Postscript driver and spool it through a Samba
printer, so long as a) the fax number is in the document being faxed in b)
a standard format of sorts allowing you to grep it out.

Good luck!
