Re: [hylafax-users] win32 client for direct faxing

["Josh Welch" <jwelch@buffalowildwings.com>]

That does sound a little messy. I guess I don't really see anything that
doesn't require some form of client software. The Respond program might be
the closest to what you are looking for, fires a little pop-up when you
print your document, but I haven't used it and can't vouch for its
viability. I use WHFC here and it seems to work quite well on Win98, needs a
little coaxing in W2K. But that doesn't help you if you don't want any
client software. I seem to remember someone who tinkered around with a Word
macro to do this, but I haven't got anything specific on that one. Perhaps
he'll pop his head up again if I wasn't imagining him.
