Hello,
the following is a message I sent some days ago to Tom Berger,
of mandrake-user.org. Tom put it on the wish list,
but I thought I'd post it here also, since it's
a general interest thing.
As always, real life example/scripts are most welcome!
TIA,
Marco Fioretti

# MY MESSAGE to TOM BERGER
Tom,
thanks a lot for the MUO site!
I have found it quite useful in setting up my Linux-Mandrake PC.
One thing missing, however, is a DETAILED, **MANDRAKE-SPECIFIC**
explanation about faxes.
Since Mandrake is proposed as a Desktop-Ready LINUX, this function
should really be painless to set up. Please put it on your agenda, or
let me know if it's not possible.
Despite reading quite a lot of stuff, I haven't been able to:
# Fax scanned papers via KDE utilities
# Scan papers via the new xsane package, and fax them right away
# Fax local ascii files via Ksendfax (its default fax command is missing
from Mandrake...)
# Insert fax covers
# Receive faxes, i.e. have the computer wake up on ring, to accept all
and only fax calls, refusing incoming PPP connections, or stepping
aside if it's a voice call.
In general, a very useful site: thank you again!
Marco Fioretti
