Click Add File
from the toolbar to locate the file(s) you want to fax. View the file with the View File
button. To select a recipient, you can either retrieve the information from your address
book or type in a name, company, and fax number using the Add Recipient dialog box.
Click Send Fax to complete the operation.
NOTE
Using multiple fax applications might seem unnecessarily complicated if you??™re used to
sending and receiving faxes with the same interface and/or with a modem connected
to the fax machine. The Unix/Linux approach is more complicated because it is
network focused. A single computer can be set up to send and receive faxes for the
entire network of hundreds of computers. Not every machine on the network needs a
fax modem to send faxes if one machine can. All any one node on the network needs
is a way to view faxes and send them via the fax server. In some ways, that??™s simplicity
itself.
Besides HylaFax, which is capable of handling faxes for a large network, the traditional
way of handling faxes is with the command-line combination mgetty+sendfax.
