Howdy Monks,
I'm beginning to suspect that Send::Fax might be in the same boat as Brush::Teeth and Paint::House. Obviously, its hard to send a fax over a broadband connection when they are sent over telephone lines.
I would like to add fax send/receive capability to a perl app of mine. I've looked around perlmonks, freshmeat, and google in general for a summary of how faxing stuff relates to and is supported by perl and linux. While I've gotten a lot of "here's how to build a fax server with linux" or "sending faxes with winfax" no one will tell me exactly how this works and how I can use perl to get it done. Anyone know?
Lastly, if anyone HAS managed to get Paint::House going, please drop me a line. :)
Thanks as always,
z28
