Hello Giulio,

That suggestion maybe a way forward also. HylaFax is running off FreeBSD. All the
other machines run Windows. My e-mail to fax setup uses faxmail, which doesn't help
my life with attachments. I could read between the lines any HOWTO that deals with
your suggestion. The Windows computers are on the LAN, so I guess it might be a good
way to go.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
