I set mine up as "fax send PHONE" , but have not had occasion to actually try it yet, son I don't know if it works.

I wanted to send a fax today and found I already had efax installed in my Linux/Mandrake distro.
But trying to configure it to run from OOo has defeated me so far.
From the Help file on the subject I got as far as Install a New Printer via spadmin, worked my way through the dialogues, and then hit this next instruction:
'Enter a command line with which to communicate with the fax in the following dialog. In the command line of each fax sent "(TMP)" is replaced by a temporary file and "(PHONE)" by the telephone number of the recipient fax machine. If "(TMP)" occurs in the command line, the PostScript code is transmitted in a file, otherwise as standard input through a pipe. Click *Next*.'
What command line? Haven't a clue what to enter there. Checked the 2.0 Help file - reads the same. And what is the translation of that last sentence for people who think like me a pipe is either something that brings your water into your house or something that people smoke?

THe commandline is what efax needs to send the document. man efax should
help you.
As to what is a pipe in UNIX terminology, it is a mechanism whereby one
program can connect it STDOUT to another program's STDIN. A basic Linux
guide can give you details.
