What do you mean with transport agent? You want to transport a PS/Tiff-File to Hylafax? I have experience in communicating with the Hylafax-Server from Java direct and there is also a solution whitch needs samba on the machine where hylafax runs: You app prints to a samba-printer, samba starts a perl-script which talks via TCP with you own process (not necesarilly the process which printed the file), your process can then give all the parameters you want for sendfax to the perl script and then this perl script will start sendfax. there must be a link to response and/or printfax.pl on the hylafax contrib page. i have a modification of printfax.pl which is more flexible than the original one.
