FAXtool
With FAXtool you can send and receive faxes using the internal modem
(SPARCbook 3 only) or PCMCIA modem. You can specify an ASCII
or a PostScript file, and to send it by fax to a specified destination.
FAXtool also provides the facilities to send more than one file (for
example, a PostScript header page and ASCII text) as a single fax.
Note
FAXtool uses the internal modem or PCMCIA. Before using FAXtool, you need
to connect the modem interface to the telephone line.
You can start FAXtool within OpenWindows by selecting the
FAXtool...
option from the

Programs
menu.
The main FAXtool window contains a list of fax messages and denotes
whether they are queued to be sent, have been sent or have been
received. It also provides status and error information during fax
transactions.
