GFax

A Popup fax manager for GNOME


DESCRIPTION 

GFax is a front end fax program that performs the familiar pop-up fax
manager when one prints to a fax printer. GFax works with all X
programs that use lpr as the printer interface, even the command
line.  

GFax has been tested with such programs as Wordperfect from Corel,
Emacs, Nedit, Ghostscript and Lyx to name a few.  It should
work with any application that prints using "lpr".  GFax relies
on underlying fax transport software such as Mgetty+Sendfax or
Hylafax to actually send the facimiles.  This software must already
be installed and setup on your system for GFax to work.

NOTE: 
GFax dosen't actaully send the fax, it is up to the fax subsystem
software such as mgetty+sendfax.  If you're having problems sending
faxes make sure the fax subsystem works first.
