Definition: e-fax
is a small ANSI C/POSIX program that sends and receives faxes using any fax
modem (Class 1, 2 or 2.0).
Example...
e-fax is smaller and easier to install. As one user put it ``E-FAX is a nice
simple program for single user systems.''
It lets you send, receive, view and print faxes. In larger systems, faxes can
be sent by printing to a ``fax'' printer and received faxes can be e-mailed as
MIME attachments to an administrator for distribution. e-fax can also pass
incoming data calls to a getty program.
The e-fax package includes a program to convert between various image file
formats. To fax Postscript files you will need Ghost script. To view faxes you
can use any program the displays PGM files (e.g. xloadimage or xv). It also
converts received files to Postscript or HP LaserJet formats for printing.
