Hi,
I just had the idea that it would be nice, to make OpenMoko to act as a
fax-receiver, convert the fax to PDF and do somethin' with it.
Is this possible, already implemented, or is software out there which
can be used on the Neo/Freerunner to do that?
Depends largely on the modem, i.e. if it can handle analog incoming fax
transmissions. The rest should be quite easy. There are a lot of
utilities around to receive a G3 fax from a modem (like mgetty-sendfax)
and to convert the resulting G3 into something more useful, like PNG or
even PDF.
Never ever will a GSM module be a G3 Fax. (IMHO)
And everything else is just hell. Fax and software don't go well together.
I don't thing this idea has potential. Out source the problem to any fax
provider and let others feel the pain.
Fax is dead.
Just my 2 Eurocents
