Is there an api for receiving/sending faxes within a linux os?


I know that windows, even prior to xp, had that capability but I can't remember having seen such an application within any linux os.

Is there one?

Thanks for any tip on the subject!

Hylafax has been pretty much the 'standard' for years.

Thanks for responding, TB0ne!

This issue seems to be more intricate than I thought, more in my case due to the fact that I haven't found yet a linux os nor a .pet file that recognizes my modem. So, I think I have to find the door or window first, then step out or jump out of the house... At least there's no fire, yet.

Have tried even Wary Puppy 512 & some scripts included afterward but with no luck.

Any new ideas welcome!

Shouldn't be anything 'intricate' about it. Load pretty much ANY version of Linux, and Hylafax will run on it.
