Before everyone runs off and snarfs NetFax you should understand what
it is: a package for shuffling Group III fax files around your machine
and the net.  It doesn't generate, understand or display them itself
-- it calls ghostscript with an output drive for "fax".  The NetFax
code itself is still in the development stage, with lots of pathnames
to configure (and none have reasonable defaults), one file per
directory, and many short C programs that would have been more
appropriate as shell scripts.  The need for TCP come from its ability
to shuffle fax files off to a machine that has a sendfax modem service
-- a need the typical Linux user doesn't have.

OTOH, the Group III output capability of ghostscript is something that a
Linixer with a sendfax modem may needs.  Just write a 'sendfax'
command that works like:
        % sendfax <dial-this-number> [<send-this-fax-file>]
        % gs letter.ps | sendfax <dial-this-number>
