Re: Linux-based FAX server for Windows 3.11/Windows 95 clients?



Hi,

I've tested couple of FAX Servers for Unix.

I've successfully installed mgetty+sendfax on Linux machine.
It works great and it has a nice Fax2Mail script.
I've read that it also has a driver for Windows 95 but I didn't
install it.

Another powerfull package is HylaFAX.
It does have a driver for Windows 95.
I've spent quite many hours trying to configure it
under Solaris 2.5.1 but it refused to communicate with
Microcom modem.
