efax has a proprietary (very compressed) format.  I've run efax's program
from WINE on FreeBSD.  Worked just fine.  I haven't learned yet of any way
to have the mail program automatically invoke the efax program based on
attachement mime-type like is done in Windows.  I have to store the .efx
file and run the efax program separately.

checked, they only had Macintosh and Winders programs.  Might want to ask
and see if they're willing to publish their format so some UN*X people could
get on it...
