Well, for what I know and to start faxing, you only
need WHFC and install a special local printer to use
as a filter. Read here the documentation

Read carefully the WHFC documentation, use
Screenhunter
to make the screenshots
http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm
to produce a user manual and any aditional
question/doubt just post here.

You must read the Samba on-line documentation or make
a visit to O'Reilly 's website ;-). You can use
encrypted passwords in Samba. Search for Winbind info
on Google.

Well, when we have the mouse-engeniers(?) in charge,
what you can expect...?

As I said, read carefully the documentation, choose
good modems and I assure you that your users will
never complaint about the change...
