Good choice. Hylafax comes with 'faxmail' which takes a (mime formatted) email as input. Just have your mta deliver to that program. Hylafax doesn't come with a pdf filter for attachements, but the infrastructure is in place to supply your own. The documentation (man faxmail) should have everything to get you going. I was going to do all that myself, but at the moment I'm too busy. Maybe in a couple of months. For me it's just an academic excersise since I won't use it very often. But it might come handy at some point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
