Dear All,
Has anyone come up with a decent faxfilter script that actually works
when use Samba + Mgetty/Sendfax.
I can print to Samba printers from Windows with no problems, and I can
use the faxspool command to send postscript files as faxes from a
Linux box. The only part I can't get to work is the vital link
between the Samba printer and faxspool.
Can anyone shed some light ?
Simon King.

The link between samba and faxspool is a perl script supplied there. I did not get to work the version of the pearl script one year ago under Solaris 2.5, so I wrote a C program doing this job. I know it to run under Solaris and linux, and it should work on other systems as well. Let me know if you need it. Martin
