  Description     : GUI interface to HylaFAX and virtual printer for faxes

Faxfrontend is a GUI interface to the HylaFAX (tm) client
programs. It includes a modified version of Sebastiano Vigna's
fax4CUPS to invoke it when a file is printed to a CUPS
printer. With the fax4CUPS interface installed, the user
prints to the fax printer, and the GUI front end is invoked to
get the fax number, etc., from the user. 
.
The program can also be invoked in a standalone mode to queue
a file for faxing.
.
A rolodex for commonly used fax numbers is provided, and a
status query to the HylaFAX server is displayed after the fax is
queued for transmission.
.
Faxfrontend is written in Qt, and should run on any Unix-like
system (tested so far only on Linux).  The print-to-fax
feature is only implemented for CUPS, but any printing system
that can invoke the program and pass it a fax file as an
argument should work as well.
