ksendfax (part of kde) might be a possibility, but I don't know if it would tailor itself to hylafax, although in a awy I don't see why it wouldn't. sendfax (or 'fax send') itself is a 'front end', and in reality, hylafax is more like sendmail, a transport agent, than an app that sends faxes (applies to mgetty+sendfax too). I ran hylafax for a little while, but now I don't have a modem (just DSL) and therefore can't send faxes :(. I did experiment with methods of sending faxes in Star Office, but that didn't work all that well - multiple page faxes were a problem. Still, sending a fax is 1% (or less) actually transmission, and the rest is editing/previewing, which can be done in any editor, somewhat like printing is. And receiving - the fax subsystem (hylafax) should do all that auto- matically, all the user needs to do is see what was faxed and/or print it - and there are several tiff / g3 type viewers available. > praedor
