--------------------------------------------------------------------- July 95 Hello, OK, I have fixed some bugs, I now have a smarter way to handle each page. And I have added a page header type thingy that faxes usually have. I have also bundled Gert Doerings sendfax program with ps2g3 (binary only) for your convenience (and mine actually). The biggest thing I have done, I'm sure you newcomers will appreciate, is write a shell script to install the fax printer to a NeXT system. There is also a crude shell script to process fax pages for the fax reader program (so you can test things as to your liking). I never did figure out what is going on with the '000', '010', -s, -d, -w options. It is good enough to get a rough idea of what your faxes look like thow. Enjoy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dec 95 This utility takes advantage if the facilities available in NeXT. It has only been tested in NS-V3.2. For those of you who are interested in replacing the faxDriver programs that are bundled with NeXT, this is only part of the solution. mgetty+sendfax will provide the rest of the solution. I have included the sh scripts I use for faxing on my system. I have NOT provided any documentation on how it all works, don't have the time. I have worked out sending of faxes only. It will be good for reference. The shell script should be in '/usr/lib/NextPrinter' and the NIS database should be altered to contain '<domain>/printers/<fax_printer_name>/if == /usr/lib/NextPrinter/FAX.psif'. Note that you will have to re-set this value of you change modem settings with PrinterManager.app. Also be sure to have the device name correct and the fax station ID.
