This is a fax-client for the HylaFax(tm) fax-server maintained and programmed by Sam Leffler (SGI). It is totally implemented in Java and requires the Java Developer Kit (JDK) at least version 1.1.1 (Package java, series d).
It supports:
* integrated phone book
* sending faxes directly from the phone book
* setting up job-parameters before sending a job and during processing of the job in the job-queue
* removing jobs from the job-queue
* direct viewing of received faxes (needs an external tiffg3 viewer or converter, for Linux/UNIX the converting is done by fax2ps from libtiff and viewing by ghostview or gv automatically by a script that comes with this package) * creating of serial-fax lists out of the phone book entries
* automatic cover page generation (not very fast :-( )
* auto-spooling (that's important for WINDOWS users) YES!!! This program is also running on WINDOWS and hopefully all the other platforms, that support Java by the JDK from Sun!!! It has been tested on WindowsNT 4.0 and it seems to run!!!!!
* password prompting if the administrator of the fax server wants the users to access the server via password
* JDBC Support
