RE: flexfax: fax viewer

[Christoph Scheeder <christoph.scheeder@scheeder.de>]

Hi,
I think the kombination of viewfax and faxview should solve all your problems.
viewfax is a TCL-Script producing a nice grafikal interface under X (kde is windowmanager for X)
for viewing faxes with faxview and printing faxes on ps-printers on Linux.
both programs are part of the mgetty+sendfax-package. 
They should be available in your distribution of linux, perhaps as a 
subpackage to mgetty called "mgetty-viewfax" or something similar. 
Maybee you'll have to change one ore two lines of text in viefax representing the path to the
directory your faxes live in.
We use that programs since 2 years in combination with hylafax for all incomming faxes in our busines.
They work great.

Thanks for the comments, but my business runs on my linux box and I 
don't have the time or hardly the mental energy to start learning all 
the idiosyncrasies of Linux and how to manipulate it. This a business 
related fax that is important that I view it. I quick command to bring 
up another viewer or two is what I am looking for.

ealex

try reading really reading some of the wonderful man pages
that unix is (in)famous for.

i'd guess you could try to click on an xman icon or menu item,
or try, at a command line prompt xman or even man.

bear in mind your environment (e.g. variables) will likely be
minimal. the better man pages tell you about env var you can set
to control programs. you might consider a book or two that describe
how to use one of the many shells (command line interpreters)
available on unix (and its workalikes). unix in a nutshell by
o'reilly is an excellent reference, but less suited to the newbe.

good luck, and i think you'll find it more rewarding than a dos
command line.
