Re: [hylafax-users] HylaFax Gateway Setup Under NetscapeMessaging

[Derrick Thomas <dpjthomas@mindspring.com>]

Hello,

Thanks for the assist and the tools hylafax provides to setup my own gateway are
easy to use and resily available.  I belive I have a way to integrate hylafax
into the Netcsape Messaging server environment.  I can already receive inbound
fax and i am working on outbound fax.  Once both sides completely work I will
share the results.

On your discussion of faxmail, if my message has attachments to it, can I still
use faxmail to send out my fax, or am I looking at using sendfax?

I did see some sample code in the newsgroup where someone piped a file from
faxmail to sendfax.  Is that required to handle attachments?  My attachments
would be MS Word docs or PowerPont Presentations converted to tif format.  I saw
some information stating that images sent must be in tif format.

Thanks,

Derrick
