(excerpt from HylaFAX FAQ, http://www.hylafax.org/content/About_HylaFAX)

|
HylaFAX is a facsimile system for UNIX systems. It supports:
|
|
o sending facsimile
|
|
o receiving facsimile
|
|
o polled retrieval of facsimile
|
|
o transparent shared data use of the modem
|
|
o sending messages to pagers
|
|
Facsimile can be any size (e.g. A4, B4), either 98 or 196 lpi, and
|
|
transmitted/received as either 1D-encoded or 2D-encoded facsimile data
|
|
(2D-encoded data is frequently more compact and hence takes a shorter
|
|
time to communicate). Any modem that supports one of the standard
|
|
interfaces for facsimile operation can be used; i.e. any Class 1, Class
|
|
2, or Class 2.0 modem.
