## efax-0.9p2 – small & simple FAX send/receive program

## Description

    Efax

    efax is a relatively small ANSI C/POSIX program that provides the
    data transport function for fax applications.  A simple shell
    script (``fax'') is included in the distribution to let you
    create, send, receive, view and print faxes.

    efax is smaller and easier to install than HylaFax(FlexFax), NetFax, or
    mgetty+sendfax.  It uses your system's own getty to handle
    incoming data calls. As one user put it, ``EFAX is a nice simple
    program for single user systems.''

    The package now includes the ``efix'' program to convert text,
    fax or PBM files into fax, PBM, PGM, HP-PCL or Postscript files.
    To fax Postscript images you will need Ghostscript.  To preview
    faxes you will need a PGM file viewer (e.g. xv or xloadimage).
    If you don't have a PCL or Postscript printer you will need an
    appropriate conversion program (e.g. pbmtoepson or Ghostscript) .
