There are several packages that implement the host end of the fax protocol using an analog modem that supports faxing, including the CentOS base packages mgetty and mgetty-sendfax. There are also all-in-one printers that implement faxing, but these can function standalone -- that is the all-in-one can behave like a regular fax machine without using a host computer at all (the HP OfficeJets can do all of this from either their front panel or though their internal web interface). > > tia. > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
