- How To Obtain This Software (in case all you get is this file)
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- The source code is available for public ftp on
- sgi.com sgi/fax/source
- (192.48.153.1)
-
- You can also obtain inst'able images for Silicon Graphics machines from
- sgi.com sgi/fax/binary
- (192.48.153.1)
-
- For example,
- % ftp -n sgi.com
- ....
- ftp> user anonymous
- ... <type in password>
- ftp> cd sgi/fax/source
- ftp> binary
- ftp> get hylafax-v3.0beta096-tar.gz
-
- Software is available in released form (not yet), and in beta form,
- (v3.0beta096). Any files in the source directory of the form:
-
- hylafax-<version>-patch-<XX>
-
- are shell scripts that can be used to apply patches to the specified
- <version>. The <XX> sequence numbers indicate the *order* in which the
- patches must be applied. Binary distributions are available in the
- binary directory.
-
-
- Obtaining the Software by Electronic Mail
- -----------------------------------------
- Do not send me requests for the software; they will be ignored (without
- response). If you cannot use FTP at all, there is a service called
- "ftpmail" available from decwrl.dec.com: you can send e-mail to
- this machine and it will use FTP to retrieve files for you and send you
- the files back again via e-mail. To find out more about the ftpmail
- service, send a message to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com" whose body
- consists of the single line "help".
-
-
- Obtaining the Software Within Silicon Graphics
- ----------------------------------------------
- Internal to Silicon Graphics there are inst'able images on the host
- flake.asd in the directory /usr/dist. Thus you can do something like:
-
- % inst -f dist.engr.sgi.com:/sgi/hacks/hylafax
-
- to install the latest version of the software on your machine.
-
-
-
- FlexFAX Information on the World Wide Web (WWW)
- -----------------------------------------------
- All the HylaFAX documentation is available on-line on the WWW. The
- HylaFAX home page is located at:
-
- http://www.vix.com/hylafax
-
- (thanks to Paul Vixie and vix.com). There is an FAQ, the mailing list
- archives (including search support), information on fax modems, and
- other related information. On-line access to various modem-oriented
- information databases are there or in the process of being added.
