I would like to be able to send and receive faxes using my openSUSE v10.3 system. A bit of looking around showed that there are not many applications to do this -- actually only one, HylaFax, which I thought likely to be more capable than the combination of sendfax+mgetty, I have downloaded and installed HylaFax.
Surprisingly, HylaFax does not sport a GUI, as far as I have been able to discover. I find it difficult to believe that many people, having acquired a sophisticated operating system like SuSE, will be content with command-line operation, so I have to wonder if I have overlooked another available application. What do people do for fax service in SuSE? Or do only few people use this OS for faxing?
We have the fax-service (from Hylafax) setup as a faxprinter. It makes it very easy to send a fax directly from openoffice for instance. (which is what I typically do).
Which release are you on Per? I just did a pin on my 10.2 system and this was the output:
Believe it or not, I do not understand either question, even after reading the info page for <pin>. Can you please explain?
pin 0.36 - package info for hylafax
