Hmm that sounds good. What format does the hylafax want PS ?

The real advantage of Windows fax is that it is hooked
to the printer drivers so I can do a spiffy MS Word doc
with pics and all and then preview it and then send
it via fax. To my knowledge there is no WYSIWYG word
processor for FreeBSD. So the real reason is not
the fax but the fact that I can send text and graphics
direct from Word. As soon as there is a decent GUI word
processor for FreeBSD which can incoporate pics and
presumably produce PS file which can then be sent to the 
fax I'll use it and wipe the whole DOS partition. 
I know XYWord is almost there but it requires Motif :-(

Ill check into hylafax, do you have an ftp address ??
