Hylafax can do it but IMHO there is a need for a nice graphical fax package that
are as user friendly as the windows programes (eg WinFax). Hylafax is not as
easy to use as Winfax with image conversions to and from international fax image
standards but if it is set up so it is entirely transparent to the user on other
machines maybeyou will get away with it.
