- The most useful software for sending .dvi files by FAX I've seen came
- with my 14.4K Boca modem. It's called QLINK, and it includes a TSR to
- capture output to a HP compatible printer, and send it via FAX. In
- other words, anything you can print on an HP compatible laser printer,
- QLINK can send over a fax. QLINK includes complete PCL 5 emulation.
-
- What I do now is just use the HP dvi driver that comes with emTeX,
- capture the output via QLINK, and off it goes. (This would also work for
- WP, Ghostscript, Pagemaker, etc.)
