Question Fax on Solaris

Hi all,

I am running an application on Solaris 8. I want to send the output from this application as fax. To achive this i need to do add the fax as a printer on the unix machine.

I want to know is :

- What are the settings required to be done in order to make my server able to send fax

- Should i setup my fax server on Windows and map it on the unix server.

- What are the different configuration option available.

Thanks in advance

In case of TIFF output, you can specify the compression by using additional specifiers: -tr resp. -Tr : CCITT modified Huffman RLE -t4 resp. -T4 : CCITT Fax Class 4 compression The default is CCITT Fax Class 3 compression.
