The ``fax'' command, a shell script, lets you send, receive, view and print faxes. In larger systems, faxes can be sent by printing to a ``fax'' printer and received faxes can be e-mailed as MIME attachments to an administrator for distribution. efax can also pass incoming data calls to a getty program.
The efax package includes ``efix,'' a program to convert between
various image file formats. To fax Postscript files you will need
Ghostscript. To view faxes you can use any program that displays PGM
files (e.g. xloadimage or xv). efix can also convert received files to
Postscript or HP Laserjet formats for printing.
