Check out the hfaxd server in the HylaFAX package. I'm not sure what clients will work, but I know you can do so if your client supports it. HylaFax appears to be very flexible, and so far more workable than mgetty+sendfax in my experience. You can send it either postscript or g3 fax pages and it spits them out quite nicely. Your problem is going to be on the 95 side, because nobody will tell you what format they send for fear that you might actually get it to work. Like anything in freeware, the 'somebody working on it' should always include you :) When you get it working, post the steps and software components on the 'questions@' list with a great Subject: line, so we'll all benefit. BTW, beginning a post to the FreeBSD lists with 'In W95 you can...' is not recommended. ;) It's likely to raise hackles on those of us who are doing stuff W95 _doesn't_ do. Don't take this as a flame, just a gentle hint. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
