Idea #1: your users just print text where you insert
the fax number. Just install the TEXT print driver. Go
to HOWTO section, hylafax clients, faxing from AS/400,
read the as400script. A way to use graphics is
included.

Idea #2: you can transform your user's files into PS,
PDF or Tiff(let us know how ;-) ), pick the fax number
from somewhere and run the java client, gnu-hylafax.

Idea #3; somehow you insert the fax number in your
users files (with graphics) and use the samba script
(HOWTO, clients section).

Any doubt just say. Cheers.
