Help needed! Linux FaxServer for Windows NT clients

Hello,

I'm developing a solution that would allow Windows clients to use a 'Fax
Server' that uses mgetty+sendfax.

I've allready developed the following:
- A Win95/98 printer driver that enables 'print-to-fax' from every
windows program.
- A Win95/98 print processor that enables the user to enter the
destination fax-number.
- Some scripts on linux that use SendFax to send the faxes.

The communication between Windows and Linux is done with the Samba
package.

All is working fine. When people try to send a fax a popup is displayed
that allows the users to enter a faxnumber. When faxes are send (or some
error occures) the sender of the fax gets informed by an email message.

So far I'm happy, but i'm having trouble porting the Win95 driver to NT
to allow NT clients to use the "fax server".

Now my question: Is there someone who would like to help me implement
the NT driver to do the same as the Win95 driver.

Please mail me if you're interested in helping to implement the NT
driver or if you want a copy of the driver/scripts.
