It depends. IMHO the proper way would be a Hylafax gateway where you wanted to send the faxes. It will handle all of the functions of error recovery, resending incomplete faxes, busy signals etc. If you need to scan something to fax, you can scan it to a JPEG or TIFF file and use the convert command (which has been part of most Linux distros for a long time) to make a postscript file out of it. In the late 1990's someone set up a world wide network of free fax servers, but it never got very far. I think they have a gateway in Israel. It uses their own front end to Hylafax. Don't ask me what it is, I can't remember or I would have mentioned it by name. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
