Is there anything that will send faxes out of the box without having to go through all this?

Inept coward that I am, I tried setting up Hylafax, and then gave up. Instead, I achieved faxing nirvana by using the wonderful efax suite (www.cce.com/efax). Once your modem is recognised, you just enter in a terminal something like "fax <number> <document>" and off it goes. Brill. It only works on PostScript docs, and TIFFS, but StarOffice can save to a PS file, so that's no problem.

Hi, sounds great. I have it installed but I have an adsl router as my 'modem'. I have tried etho as the DEV in the script but nothing. Can you use an adsl setup to send faxes I wonder? THanks, Steve

Use of a line splitter solves your problem so you can use the phone also

:-)

So do I have to have a conventional modem too? Steve.
