[hylafax-users] Do I have to look for other solutions just because of a coverpage?



Im working for a advertisement company with about 25 employers 
using both mac and pc. Someone requested a network based 
soulution to send faxes since we have a four stair building and I 
found a old USR Robotic medem lying around, connected it to my 
linux box running redhat 6.2 console only (It's a server, so why the 
heck should I use X?). Installed HylaFax with a breeze, configured 
a samba solution with the Respond software and about three ours 
since the request took place I printed my first fax from my Win2000 
machine. 

The I added the init.d to support the old port for macFLEX and even 
that run smothley. Now there's just one problem, as working for a 
advertisement company we are very consern about the looks of 
things and since this faxcover.ps isn't editable with anything else 
then this tiff modifier that only works under X-windows I have spent 
the last 24 hours trying to find a diffrent solution (and yes, I know I 
can replace the logo in the template. Of course I read the Faq and 
HOWTO:s. But that don't make me able to compleatly alter the 
looks of it just like I wan't to.). The most satisfying this far is to 
make a .prn file from word using Apple LaserWriter. But then I can't 
alter it for the faxcover macros too work. Now people are starting to 
look for windows solutions, please help me show them the 
usefullness of Linux and GNU. How do I make my totally own 
faxcover without having X, knowing PostScript Hacking, knowing 
TeX? Whay can't someone with the knowledge just make some 
covertion tool that can convert from Adobe PostScript files 
generated by most PC and Mac applications?
