Faxing from Debian - success, but is there a GUI?

[Phillip Deackes <gsmh@gmx.net>]

I am very excited at the ease with which efax installed on my system.
Debian proved itself yet again in configuring my system so that I can,
for the first time, send faxes from my Debian system. I *never* achieved
this with RedHat.

Anyway, what I would like to do is to be able to print directly from an
application like Applix. Failing that, even printing to a .ps file and
faxing that with a GUI would be useful.

At the moment I do the following:

gs -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=letter.%03d input.file.ps
</dev/null to convert/prepare the postscript file for faxing

efax -d /dev/ttyS1 -o1 -t T12345678 letter.001 to actually send it.

I tried setting up a printer queue but got confused with exactly what to
put into a filter.

BTW, I use magicfilter to print.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much.
