Not a good idea if it's an automated process.. I don't think I can get my
Linux box to uncross it's arms and type in a word processor for me...
I basically need to run a command like
sendfax -d 12345678 -f bitmap.g3 -f texttogo.g3 (or texttogo as text)..
Nothing does this.. I don't mind passing the graphic and text to a
script/process to add them together to make one big G3 file but I don't see
how it can be done...
eg.
--------------------------------
+---+ Hello this is a fax
| | it wraps around the
| | bitmap image
+---+ and goes down
the page so it's readable
with the image at the top
left corner...
--------------------------------
thanks,

Its really easy (ish). For fancy faxes:
1- use a word processor and print to a postscript file.
2- runs 'gs' to convert that file to g3.
3- pass the g3 files to 'sendfax'

Sounds like a word processor to me. I dont think you'd like TeX.
