The GFAX project aims to provide a free front end to the various facsimile programs available for Linux and other operating systems that use GNOME.
GFAX provides the familiar "pop up" window and phone book support when one "prints" to a "fax" printer.
This is a GNOME-2.x port of Gfax.
This version has the following features:
- Works with Hylafax and Efax
- View status of Hylafax server, send, done and receive queues.
- Delete jobs in send queues.
- Delayed sending of Hylafax jobs, up to 30 days in the future.
- Both IP and username/password authentication for Hylafax.
- Cancel partially sent jobs, (while sending file to Hylafax server).
- Retrieves and displays total number of jobs in queue.
- Number of jobs in send queue displays in icon in task bar.
- Auto timed refresh of server and queue status can be toggled on or off.
- Complete list of jobs in queues with status and time to send.
- Phonebooks
- Define Gfax phone books.
- Add and delete entries to Gfax phone books.
- Send fax to entire phonebook easily.
- Convenient wizard for adding new phonebooks.
- Deselect individual numbers form outgoing list.
- Can fax postscript documents from the command line as well via Gnome print, OpenOffice and most other X applications. (see OpenOffice printer in the INSTALL file).
- Faxing of postscript files straight from Gfax.
WHEN BUILDING
If you are building from source you should run autogen.sh or configure with
the following:
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc Of course you may choose to substitute /usr and /etc with the locations that your system is configured with.
There are many things to do but C# is highly productive and I'm sure Gfax will benefit from being written in it and move forward rapidly.
Please join the gfax mail list for bugs, support, feature requests, flames and other discussion.
