Use WHFC to do this under windows and you get a normal hylafax printer.
It's a bit tricky because people offen expect that the get
a "ready to use Printer". That WHFC does, is to create a printer port
which a printer can connect to.

Do the following:

Install WHFC with printer support.
Install a new postscript printer (i. E. Apple LaserWriter)
Connect this printer with the WHFC printer port.
That's it.

Best regards,


Carsten
