This is the README for my Emacs TeX-fax-mode. Just a few words ;-)

This is the first pre-ALPHA release (non-public). 
You must have LaTeX 2.09 and Lucid Emacs 19.10 installed. I don't know
whether the package works with later versions of LaTeX or with GNU Emacs too
(can someone please try it out?). There are still some things to do (mainly
some sanity checks whether files are redable in tex-send-fax()). 

Simply call "make install" as root, and the files are copied to their
correct directories. A short description and manual is in tex-send-fax.el.
You should include 

(load "/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/tex-mode-hook")

in your .emacs. That's it. 

gert.tex is a sample tex fax source (which was never actually sent because
Gert's modems were busy all the time I tried ;-). You can see the \special
command to underlay the postscript header page and the %APPEND command to
append several files. Watch how I included my handwritten subscript
.milz.eps. This one was scanned on a Canon CLC-10 with 200 dpi and exported
as EPS with the respective Macintosh scanning software. It's that easy... (I
didn't include the file here for obvious reasons, but you get the idea :-)

If you try the code, I'd appreciate hints and bug reports. Let's get it up
and running. 

Have fun!
