Simple answer is yes - several. Getting info on them is the hard part. I will have to reply for using Mandriva 10.0 to 2006 and KDE as a base. The most common/heavy duty is "HylaFax", I can't go much past the name - Google it. "eFax" is another program - Note: there is a company of that name for commercially sending/receiving faxes - that is not what I am referring to. The program may be on your installation disks. The most light weight is a KDE frontend called "kdeprintfax" used for sending faxes only (for use with either HylaFax or eFax) - the file to be sent must be in the "*.ps" format generated in Linux (CUPS) by printing with the "print to file" activated. Kfax - is a program for reading *.tiff-f (g3)(fax) files. Both are in the KDE Section. Another one that is a little heavier duty is "eFax-GTK", a standalone front end that uses "eFax" and is suitable for send/receiving or monitoring a fax line. I download "eFax-GTK" from the "contrib" board of the Mandriva club.
