RE: freebsd network fax server?
The problem with the printserver routine is you have no way to specify the recipient fax number. Emailing the fax to the hylafax server is the way to go.

To send faxes I've tried several different solutions, one was a printer shared via samba/cups (smbfax) this would look in the produced postscript for a line Fax-nr: 993848210 and send the fax to that number, this is great if you use fax coversheets in word, another as an e-mail receiver, but the most successful I've tried is installing a driver on each machine separately that prompts you for a fax number and allows you to save an address book when sending faxes (winprint hylafax). Regardless of my experience with these, the best place to find software that you could make use of as a client is listed at: http://www.hylafax.org/content/Desktop_Client_Software I have found the hylafax handbook on par with the FreeBSD handbook with clarity, readability and a bloody excellent source of information on how to implement servers and clients.

I've got a setup using HylaFAX. It's not exactly what you mention though. What we have setup is that you can send and email to the fax box with a postscript attachment and the email will act as the fax coversheet and the attached document will the the rest of the fax. You can setup filters with HylaFAX to do things like PDF-PS conversion automatically. -- Anish Mistry [EMAIL PROTECTED] AM Productions http://am-productions.biz/ pgpFEJoy1LsNX.pgp Description: PGP signature
