What software do folks recommend for sending faxes? I don't need to receive them. I'm running KDE and SuSE 10.0. I actually have two modems: an external USR one, which I'd prefer not to use if I don't have to, and an internal PCTel one, which I have yet to get working properly (see my other thread).
Hylafax as the server, and either jhylafax or kdesendfax as the client.
And on the same subject: what do I need to do to set up the modem for this function? The Yast facility for configuring a modem seems to assume that the modem is being used to contact an ISP, which is not the case in my situation.
See the documentation for hylafax, and Google for setting it up. There is a lot of good info on the web, and a discussion on this list earlier about faxing from 10.0. Also if there's a problem you can get excellent help here. IIRC you are looking at some type of winmodem, I don't know if faxing is supported in the driver, so your external USR might be an easier way to go.
