You can run a simple mail server on the * box to accept emails addressed to the .fax domain (i.e. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). This presumes you are able to forward the .fax domain from your main mail server to the * box. Once you have the email at the * box, it is a simple matter to convert the .ps or .pdf attachment to .tiff and send it to the fax machine. This method requires that the user convert the document to .ps or .pdf before attaching it to the email.and email-fax?? The other way around
The second method is print-to-fax. This requires the configuration of a Samba "printer" on the * box. Using the print function in MS Office (Word, Excel, etc.) client, the user would print a document to the "printer". At the Samba interface, the .ps document would be captured, converted to .tiff, and sent. This method requires that the user embed the cover sheet, including the fax number into the document.
The third method is to give your users a Windows printer plug-in that would send the cover sheet information along with the document (I'm working on this as we speak). This plug-in allows the user to send an address book entry along with the document, and the address book information is then used to compose the cover sheet.
