kvoice - sending faxes
This help documentation created January, 10 for kvoice v0.1.0
The sending of faxes is done, by spooling the composed faxes to
faxspool (see man faxspool for further information), which is part of
the mgetty package. This just places the faxes on a spool queue. To
actually send them, you must either have faxrunqd running (by for
example putting it into /etc/rc), or have an entry in your systems
crontab (see man crontab) which calls faxrunq from time to time.
For the moment kvoice does not check, if the files you wan't to
send are in a format faxspool can process. If you have ghostscript
and tex installed, ps, dvi, and text files should work without any
problems. Various image formats may work aswell.
Spooling the faxes will fail silently, if you try to process file
types faxspool does not recognize. I'll try to change this in a future
version of kvoice.
