You use a {tcl,python,perl}/tk script:
Put the attached fax.py script in your path, and then
change the dvi->fax converter command to 'fax.py $$i'.
#!/usr/bin/python
from Tkinter import *
import os,sys
class MyDialog:
def __init__(self, parent):
Label(parent, text="Enter phone number").pack()
self.e = Entry(parent)
self.e.pack(padx=5)
self.e.focus_set()
Button(parent, text="Send", command=self.send).pack(pady=5)
def send(self):
phone = self.e.get()
if len(phone) == 0:
return
os.system("faxspool " + phone + " " + sys.argv[1])
sys.exit(0)
root = Tk()
MyDialog(root)
mainloop()
