But for those of us who live an work 'out of the office' an use a laptop, something else is needed.
When I google for 'openoffice+fax' I get a lot of references to How-Tos that specify:
To send a fax directly from OpenOffice.org, you need a fax modem and a fax driver that allows applications to communicate with the fax modem.
Well that's a big MAYBE. Maybe the modem in my laptop can fax, but is it a real modem?
Define "real" :-) If you can use it for dial-up on a plain analog telephone line, it's a modem and there's a very good chance it will also do faxing.
So there are two problems:
1. A simplified, low footprint, occasional fax out of a document via my laptop's modem.
I think hylafax is the answer to that.
2. Dealing with the complexities of PDF forms that need to be filled in, signed and faxed.
signed?
I wonder how many other people are in this situation? I wonder if there is a 'small footprint' solution for laptops and occasional use?
Is hylafax too much "footprint" for you? I mean, set it up once and use it as often or not as you like. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
