To send faxes I've tried several different solutions, one was a printer shared via samba/cups (smbfax) this would look in the produced postscript for a line "Fax-nr: 993848210" and send the fax to that number, this is great if you use fax coversheets in word, another as an e-mail receiver, bu= t the most successful I've tried is installing a driver on each machine separately that prompts you for a fax number and allows you to save an address book when sending faxes (winprint hylafax). Regardless of my experience with these, the best place to find software tha= t you could make use of as a client is listed at: http://www.hylafax.org/content/Desktop_Client_Software I have found the hylafax handbook on par with the FreeBSD handbook with clarity, readability and a bloody excellent source of information on how to implement servers and clients.
