HylaFax is a network-ready fax server (can handle both incoming and outgoing), that is very robust and fast. Clients for both Windows and Mac exist so that you can simply "print" to a FAX driver "printer" in order to send a fax (just like Winfax(TM)). --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com>-Member The FreeBSD Project| PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
