Letterhead, stdin->sendfax



A couple of questions:

1. Is there a way to create a 'letterhead' effect (ie. each page has a
logo inserted at the top). I
have seen reference to this in past posts, but no answers.

2. Is there a way for sendfax to accept its data file from stdin instead
of on the command line?

I have an application that will send out a print job as an ascii text
stream. What I would like
is to be able to take this text stream, and in one command line, send it
out as a fax (the phone
number can be passed as a variable). What would be really nice is to be
able to have the option
of adding the letterhead along the way. We previously used a product
called "FaxFX", and the
above was accomplished by the following: "> ljprint -feeder papername
-fax |sendfax $PHONE".
I left out some parameters, but ljprint takes the text, merges it with
the virtual paper 
'papername', sends out a temp. file name, which sendfax takes as input,
and sends out as a fax.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Walter Feddern.
