flexfax: Re: Merging images a la Digifax

[Barry Wiseman <duck@gensoftdes.com>]

I'm also migrating from Digifax to hylafax.  Since I had a large number 
of legacy scripts for creating faxes and submitting them to the spooler, 
all written for Digifax, I simply kept all that and wrote a wrapper 
script to convert the Digifax 'faxsend' args to hylafax 'sendfax' 
format.  (Easy to do; the names of the flags are different, that's about 
it.) 

Turns out hylafax is perfectly happy to accept the output of the Digifax 
text2fax, faxmerge, etc.

BTW, I've found hylafax enormously reliable and efficient compared to 
Digifax, and transmission times about 50% faster even on a Class 1 modem.
