I use a couple of command-line tools to send and receive FAX documents. For viewing, I can use any text editor or viewer on text documents (probably what your email was) or if in graphic format (usually TIFF) I use PictView by J Patera (spelling??) Anyway, I had no need to download source code, built binaries, install... anyway, not this time. The source codes are old, but the binaries are available ready to use. Only requirement is a FAX capable modem... Class 1 or 2. So, in the time you spent finding, downloading, compiling and installing the Linux package, my DOS software would already have sent the FAX back, hehe...but, it's still pretty neat that you found a way to do it in Linux. Oh, I did understand correctly, you mentioned EFax?? Anyway, must be a difference in the files for Linux as opposed to Win9X. I have used the EFax Viewer for Win95...since the FAX is sent as email attachment. But, with my EFax account, they do not allow sending...I only use the "free, ad supported" receiving function. I've also got a small Win3X utility to send FAX documents, especially text files...it's called QuickStar FAX...not bad, for an early beta release. For most of my FAX stuff, I use QuickLink II for Win3X...the software came with my modem. But, when not booted into Windows, I fall back on WizFax... it is available from my Download page at SurfBest: http://members.surfbest.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/download.htm <a href="http://members.surfbest.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/download.htm"> Wizard57M's Downloads</a> C U L8R!
