efax

efax is smaller and easier to install than HylaFAX or
mgetty+sendfax. As one user put it ``EFAX is a nice simple
program for single user systems.''

The ``fax'' command, a shell script, lets you send, receive, view
and print faxes. In larger systems, faxes can be sent by
printing to a ``fax'' printer and received faxes can be e-mailed
as MIME attachments to an administrator for distribution. efax
can also pass incoming data calls to a getty program.

The efax package includes ``efix,'' a program to convert between
various image file formats. To fax Postscript files you will
need Ghostscript. To view faxes you can use any program that
displays PGM files (e.g. xloadimage or xv). efix can convert
received files to Postscript or HP Laserjet formats for printing.

This version of the program was written & tested under Linux 2.0.
Previous versions have been compiled and used under most versions
of Unix and should work with minor changes on any Unix with an
