[SPARCbook] HylaFAX is great! (less than 30 minutes to install...)

[Ken Hansen]

Well, based on the advise of a fellow list-member, I have installed
HylaFAX on my SPARCBook 3GX and got it using the internal modem
*in less than 30 minutes*! I didn't even really read the instructions,
I simply did a pkgadd of the 18 Meg package, installed [all] (since
my laptop is to be both client and server), then poked around for
the 'sendfax' command, I simply issued:

	# sendfax -d 5551212 /etc/passwd

(where 5551212 is my intended FAX machine number) and when I
got back to the office the FAX was there waiting for me!

The only thing that took a bit of time was specifying the modem to use,
the internal modem is /dev/cua/c, and you want to answer /cua/c -
the HylaFAX package knows to pre-pend the /dev and won't accept
a response with /dev already specified...

I highly recommend this package - I will try and set up inbound FAXes
tonight/tomorrow...

Thanks for the pointer,

Ken
