I don't know if this will interest you, but my company has available a
pre-production Linux version of our fax software, VSI-FAX, which is the
largest selling UNIX-based fax software in the U.S. At the moment the Linux
version is only available as a limited-time evaluation and is not for sale.
To get the software, go to ftp.vsi.com/pub/marketing/linuxworld and download
the readme.txt file. This file explains where to get the software and how to
ge the temporary license. In the section titled Pre-Installation
Information," the readme file says, "Your Auto-Evaluation Number is on the
coupon you received at LinuxWorld." You will not have received this coupon,
so use "101948-LLZT" as your Auto-Evaluation Number.
The VSI-FAX software was ported from UNIX, and we have already discovered
some things we are doing that are not Linux-like. These issues have been
corrected for the production release. Anyone who finds bugs and
non-Linux-like behavior in the pre-production software is welcome and
encouraged to report them to me. Likewise if you have download/installation
difficulties or other issues.

Subject: fax server
I have the following task. There is a LAN with a dozen of Win based
PCs and a Linux box with a modem that Win clients share. I'd like
to set up a fax server so that every Win client could send faxes thru
that modem. Receiving is not that important, there is regular fax
machine in the office that could take care of it. So far I've got
two ideas, one is to use the HylaFAX (www.hylafax.org) and the
supplementary Win printer emulator. The second idea was told me
today is to use Samba and Mgetty to do that. I have never
worked with Samba, but generally do not have a problem with
installing it.
Does anyone have a good advice regarding this project? Can someone
point me to some reading material, i.e. a How-to?
