Re: [hylafax-users] What's the best Windows client around



Thanks for the favorable review! We just love this little client to death
here ;-)

HylaFSP is a lightweight, send-only client. It never actually checks in with
the HylaFAX server to see jobs that were sent, it simply shows you your
local 'sent faxes' folder. The only client/server stuff going on is during
job submission. That's why you see what you see.

The glory of HylaFSP is how simple and lightweight it is. If you want to do
more complicated things like manage the queue, interact with the server
realtime, look at received faxes using hfaxd (analogous to faxstat -d) you
need a more heavyweight client like Cypheus or WHFC, not HylaFSP. If you
just want to have 'set and forget' sending, beautifully integrated with
Microsoft, well then HylaFSP is for you.

The delayed jobs 'feature' is, unfortunately, the way Microsoft implemented
the delay. They cannot assume that all fax service providers (which is what
HylaFSP is) will implement a delay, I guess. It's local, not done on the
server like you would do with 'sendfax -a'. It doesn't work well if you turn
your computer off at night!!!
