Sure, but your's doens't make it any easier (in terms of distributing it). > > I am using WHFC (Windows HylaFAX client). This accepts postscript > input, and talks directly to the HylaFAX server.

The alternative is the CUPS Windows postscript driver, which should actually allow for more interesting things (in combination with fax4cups etc etc), but it is in a similar position as this filesystem driver, in that it requires some MS SDK which is not free enough. But I may look at making a package for Club comm which works mostly out-the-box with CUPS/Samba. > > Install & configure WHFC first, then install the Generic Postscript > driver.

Hmm, > Interesting issue - packaging windows utilities that interact with an > MDK server... Where do you draw the line? Exactly the issue at hand, but remember it can really only be done for totally free software.
