Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 12/11/2006 08:48 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
GFAX provides the familiar "pop up" window and phone book support when one "prints" to a "fax" printer. Sending facsimiles from the command line or from the GUI is also supported.

Much work has been put into polishing Hylafax and Efax support. The following is a list of new or changed items. If you have tried Gfax in the past and have been disappointed we recommend you checkout the 0.7.6 version. We think you will be pleased. There is still work to be done but we have a great group of people providing feedback, which really helps.

-The queue scanning is now 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds for dealing with faxes sent via Efax.
HYLAFAX CHANGES:
