Description: Programs to send and receive fax messages.
efax is a small ANSI C/POSIX program that provides the data transport
function for fax applications using any Class 1 or Class 2 fax modem.
Another program, efix, converts between fax, text, bit-map and gray-scale
formats. fax, a shell script, provides a simple user interface to the efax
and efix programs. It allows you to send text or Postscript files as faxes
and receive, print or preview received faxes.
.
You need ghostscript to fax Postscript files. To preview faxes, you need
a PGM file viewer such as xloadimage.
.
Note that you probably have to adapt /etc/efax.rc to your needs.
