Very Computer

I want to get some FAX software for my LINUX Box.  I have received several
names of candidate software.  However, nobody told me where to find it.
I browse through the tsx-11.mit.edu node without any luck. I can not make
archie searches, and I do not know the name of the filenames I am looking for.
Can anyone send me the path and node where different FAX software resides?
I would really appreciate any help on this!  Thanks in advance!

   The current version of Flexfax, from Sam Leffler at SGI, is said to work
with Linux, although I haven't tried it.  I have used it with SVR4 and SunOS,
though.  You can get it via FTP from ftp.sgi.com, from the /sgi/fax directory.

   Version 2.2 of Flexfax is still in Beta, but almost in final form.  The
last version I saw was:

v2.2beta070.src.tar.Z

Has anyone got this to compile on Linux?  I am having some problems with
it.  For one thing, the makefile doesn't work, there's no way to do
a make depend.

I did look but I couldn't find binaries for this.

For mgetty+sendfax, look on sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/serial

I've got a signature breakdown! Anybody got a spare one?

What version of FlexFAX are you trying to compile?  Beta versions of 2.2 have
been working on linux since beta008.  As the porter, if you have problems
compiling newer versions, I would like to hear about them.

Thanks,
Rick.

Compiles fine IF you get the patches from sunsite.unc.edu. Of all the
fax packages I have tried, this one, IMHO, is the best.

I have a Class 1 FAX modem.  According to what I know, only NetFax supports
Classs 1 modem.  Does anyone compile it successfully under Linux ?

I might be wrong, but I understood netfax was another name for the GNU
product, fax-3.2.1, which doesn't (last time I looked) support class 1
faxmodems.

What I do know is that flexfax-2.2 does support class 1 modems - I use
it with my class 1 Spirit II.  Available at sgi.com in sgi/fax.

Yep, but it doesn't support class1. The only unix-based package i know which
supports class1 is Flexfax.
