With the software mentioned below you can send and receive faxes. Although all received faxes will end up in one directory. That might be a problem if you plan to use a real multi-user environment. This is what I gathered from the README file. >Is there any fax software for unix based machines? text or X11? Yes. It is under the GNU project. Its name is fax-3.2.1.tar.Z This is a spooling system. I didn't take a look at it but it seems to be written for BSD systems. So it should not be too difficult to port it. Somebody in Munich, Germany did it, but, unfortunately I lost his e-mail address. I have the patches for a Supra FAXModem (but not tried those, yet). Oh yes, if you don't want to change all the Makefiles you should port GNU-make (make-3.62.tar.Z), first. Hope this helps, Norbert. -- Norbert Bladt, Ascom Autelca AG, Worbstr. 201, CH-3073 Guemligen, Switzerland Phone: +41 31 999 65 52 FAX: +41 31 999 65 44 Mail: nbladt@autelca.ascom.ch UUCP: ..!uunet!mcsun!chsun!hslrswi!aut!nbladt
