HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server |
I've set up OUTLOOK to do quite a good job of receiving faxes. I'm looking in to being able to send faxes, but at the moment it looks like code will have to be written - an alternative is to create an e-mail message in Outlook and then print the message to WHFC, this will give you a nice cover page type header to your message. For receiving, I have created a Faxes Folder, and created a Rule to automatically place all received faxes from my Linux box into this folder. On the Linux box I have modified the jobrecv script to include the file as a TIFF file to the e-mail notification. (You can do this by first using GS to convert the picture to a TIF or any other format that you may prefer, and then pipe it through a MIME encoder program). On the Windows clients, I have associated TIFF Files with Windows Imaging which comes with Win 95oem2,98 and NT 4, This is a very good program for handling Fax Images. If youonly have Win95 version 1, then you can download Windows Imaging from www.eastmansoftware.com. When I have some spare time I am going to try to integrate the Windows Imaging program into Outlook so that Faxes are viewable in a similar way to HTML e-mails are now. (all the Imaging is done using ActiveX controls so you can easily include them, even scanning into your own programs). Hope this helps, Dave Griffiths. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-flexfax@celestial.com [mailto:owner-flexfax@celestial.com]On > Behalf Of Sch�tz Susanne Dipl.Ing. > Sent: 03 February 1999 14:12 > To: flexfax@sgi.com > Subject: flexfax: Clients for Hylafax > > > We currently use WHFC as windows client. > > Is it possible to use widly known Programms (such as Outlook, Lotus > Notes) as PC-clients for Hylafax?
