By "typical" I meant that once the data was collected (ie who to send
the fax to, the number to dial, the cover sheet to add, etc) that it was
most likely nothing more than could be done by lpd. Therefore, we need
someone with some programming knowledge to check out the data stream
sent by a Winfax client to a Winfax server and (a) replicate this stream
in a Linux app and (b) put together a gui that can capture a print
stream from a Linux app, setup all the fax info, and shoot it to the
Winfax server.
