No, stomper is a modem sharing program. There is a solution for Samba, which involves a script on the server, a faked samba printer which prints to this script, and a program running on the Windows machine to ask for the phone number etc. It works ok.

Is it called Stomper? If so, it's pretty much a DOS /win '95/NT program.

There is a freeware or shareware thingy made by a german company that provides a win95 client program ala Microsoft's fax send dialog that is intended to work with a linux samba server. I have downloaded it a while ago, but haven't had the time to actually install and try it, but I sure plan to do so. I can't remember the exact name and url, but if you do a search on altavista for +linux +samba +fax windows95 faxdriver you'll probably find it easily.

faxing from Win 95
Sorry if this has been asked before. I want to be able to fax from my Windows 95 desktop, ideally via the default exchange client, but via a print driver would be OK. I currently have my modem on my Linux server running regular mail & news transfer and would also like to be able to use a fax service without having to move the modem connection. Is there such a tool ? If so where ? Note: This is my personal system, not my work system. -- -- Alex Monaghan Network Support Analyst, Royal Mail Anglia London Rd, Stevenage, SG1 1AA, UK Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] STD 01438 767081 Postline5811 7081 -- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
