Well I went into www.alltheweb.com and searched on "Linux + fax" and got
some stuff including http://linuxgazette.com/issue28/vermeer1.html which
is a "Fax for Dummies" thing, talking about fax/efax/efix by Ed Casas

I seem to remember "hylafax" as well as
http://linux.ittoolbox.com/nav/t.asp?t=311&p=420&h1=311&h2=420

http://www.hylafax.org/ says "HylaFAX™ is an enterprise-class system for
sending and receiving facsimiles as well as for sending alpha-numeric
pages."

http://linuxgazette.com/issue79/fraile.html another "for dummies"

http://www.knology.net/~machida/linux/FAX.htm which says How to Receive
FAX on Your Linux PC

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
