Paul,

I have been researching faxing and have gotten HylaFax to do experiment
with. It appears to be very complete and I will be installing it in a test
situation very soon. There is someone else on this list working on faxing
from Linux as well, just cannot remember who it is. maybe they will make
them selves obvious to us so we can pick their brain.

Will let everyone know how hylafax works for me. I have a need to access it
from within a database program and that should be interesting.

I don't think efax has been deprecated. It's under current development,
and in the 7.2 version of Red Hat. See http://www.cce.com/efax/ . Qfax,
on the other hand, is six years old and can only be found at sunsite; no
freshmeat or sourceforge entries for it.
