I know it might be a bit lame and basic, but < efax > compiles, and runs ok on my dsl.
its only 155k total
Searching for Fax on damnsmalllinux dont get to many hits, so there might not be a huge interest.

But I'll submit my tiny tar.gz if anyone is interested.
I am also working on hacking up a lua for it.
Perhaps something similar to < Efax-Gtk > (but without the Gtk ;))


Anyone with talent is welcome to help, as I am utterly useless in Lua

Edit: posted in the wrong section... but anyways

You should make a .dsl file.  That would be a great item to put into the DSL repository.

I have been searching for a fax utility for DSL for a LONG time, and I suck at compiling stuff.

Tar that sucker up and send it to Kent!

A little script to put the machine into fax receive mode would be great also and then convert to multi-page tif or pdf upon receipt....

And don't you also need the companion efix??

PM me and I'll send back a tg.gz link, I dont want to submit untill I have the lua interface done, for now it will only be the basic binarys, efix included.

Beta testers are wery welcome.
I only have ADSL home, and have to test the fax stuff at work.

Also I dont like .dsl's, but maby as an UCI...

Unfortunatly I'm halting development on this app a couple of weeks...
I'll post some updates here when Im back working on it.
