*hint* I went to http://www.hylafax.org/ and hit the search menu option on the left hand side. I entered 'protocol' and pressed SEARCH. The hit below was second on the list.

See http://www.hylafax.org/HylaFAQ/Q90.php

Basically try out all the client-side commands and use the -v flag to trace the protocol. That and reading the source is the best you can do, I'm afraid.

Such a document would be useful of course . . . perhaps you could contribute what you learn ;-)
