Re: flexfax: HylaFAX with Macs, CGI or MacFlex?

["Thomas Kempf" <tkempf@hueper.de>]

Hi David,
have you already tried SuSEFax. It is a HylaFAX-Client completely written in 
Java and runs with MRJ 2.0 or newer. We are using it in a 
Macintosh/Linux/Win95/98/NT environment without any problems. The 
following is part of its Readme-file.

It supports:

* Currently two languages: german and english
* integrated phonebook
* sending faxes directly from the phonebook
* setting up job-parameters before sending a job and
  during processing of the job in the job-queue
* removing jobs from the job-queue
* direct viewing of received faxes (needs an external tiffg3 viewer
  or converter, for Linux/UNIX the converting is done by fax2ps from
  libtiff and viewing by ghostview or gv automatically by a script that
  comes with this package)
* creating of serial-fax lists out of the phonebook entries
* automatic coverpage generation
* autospooling (that's important for WINDOWS users)
  YES!!! This programm is also running on WINDOWS and hopefully
  all the other platforms, that support Java by the JDK from Sun!!!
  It has been testet on WindowsNT4.0 and it seems to run!!!!!
* password prompting if the administrator of the faxserver
  wants the useres to access the server via password
* now (0.8) also support for fax-polling
* new Features (0.83): Jobtag-Support, and Joblistconfiguration
* now (0.83) also tested on Macintosh
* (0.84): added feature to send a coverpage with serialfaxes
* (pre1.0alpha): shared phonebook via postgres and jdbc
