Hylafax (included with most distributions) is terrific for this purpose; the problem is how to access a fax modem from the zSeries. I've used Hylafax on an Intel Linux box with a Cisco dialup server as a remote output device, so I suspect it would work equally well with a zSeries Linux instance. Two comments: 1) if you use the "print to fax" functions, be aware that rasterizing a PS or text file to a G3 fax bitmap is CPU intensive. Expensive to run on Z processors. 2) Use CUPS as your printing system instead of lpr or lpr-ng. Setup is *much* easier, and gives you lots of nifty output management options (like spiffier header pages, WWW-based queue management, and generally easier overall management). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
