ANN: Windows fax client for MGetty+Sendfax / Samba

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

After experimenting with some windows clients for a samba / mgetty+sendfax
based faxserver I found them all too complicated, and decided to write my
own.

It works very simple: On the client side a postscript printer prints its
output to a file. A small program called faxmon then monitors this file and
pops up when the file is present. It then adds the faxnumber to the tail of
the file. On the linux side the last line is stripped from that file and
used as a fax number. Thats all.

If you are interrested look at my site: www.ceressoft.nl

It free, and if you send me a mail, you can also hav the source code of the
faxmonitor.

Enjoy,

John
