Windows?
Well Hylafix has come on lately. There was mention of it a wee while ago
on the list as I recall. Seems that there are number of Windows clients
out there for it now. You could give those a try.
I need to set up faxing on my linux box at hom - at least I think I do
:) I'm gonna be trying the windows clients then. If/when I do it I can
give the list a run down if any one likes.

Cheers,
 Graeme
