Hi,

has windows no other solution like writing a printer driver (and
spending
1000$ to microsoft) ? i am searching a longer time for a better fax
printing solution for whfc (and posted some questions about it in some
windows newsgroups) without any success :-( .

It's really horrible to convert unix code to windows. So i won't do
that. If someone want's to use Windows as a fax server he could buy
a commercial fax programm. If he want to use a free fax server he
can use linux or free bsd (which has also a better stability).

PS : Are these cygnus libs under gpl ?
