The fax support in 1.1.6 is only for GUI fax programs.
(it is equivalent to \fax_program in 1.1.5), but the internal fax dialog
was removed, so there is no support for command line fax programs.
You can choose which GUI fax program to use by putting
\converter ps fax "yourfaxprogram $$i" ""
in lyxrc (or preferences).
The GUI fax program is any program that accept a postscript file as an
argument, open a dialog for choosing phone number (from an address book),
and then runs the command line fax program as with the appropriate arguments.
I don't know if there such programs other than ksendfax (maybe tkhylafax
which only works with hylafax), but it should be very easy to write such a
program in {tcl,python,perl}/tk.
Any volunteers ?
