Faxing with Samba???
Hello,
i recently managed to set up Samba server on my Linux maschine and now i would like to let it run also as a fax server. Modem is already installed...
Now the problem:
With samba come some howtos how to set up mgetty+sendfax but i need a program called faxfilter? Where do i get it?
Aren`t there any other solutions? (e.g.hylafax but i didn`t find win or dos clients for it:-()
The modem should also be available for ppp incoming and so on. Perhaps also voice box. I use a ZyXel.

Okay, thanks found faxfilter, works perfect with some DOS clients but if a windows(95) client tries to send a postscript file to the printer, faxfilter just SOMETIMES (not regular) finds the telefon number, but NORMALLY it says that it cannot find the number?-( Where is the error? Or the diffrence between DOS and WIN95???
suggested in Faxing.txt you will find a pointer to the following
URL in the frontends/win+samba directory:
http://isis.et.uni-magdeburg.de/~horstf
At this page you will find information about a system which
can be setup relatively easily with a simple Perl script on
the samba system and a tray application on the PC.
