Sending a FAX

Use the command sendfax to send faxes. sendfax accepts plain ASCII, postscript, and TIFF files. If you need help converting a document to one of these formats for transmission, contact the systems staff.

To send a file paper.ps to 301-123-4567, you would type:

		sendfax -d 9-301-123-4567 paper.ps

By default, sendfax will notify you via Email if there is a problem transmitting your FAX, but not when FAXes are successfully sent.

If you wish to be notified via Email when your job has completed successfully, use the -D option:

		sendfax -D -d 9-301-123-4567 paper.ps

As always, see the man page for sendfax for additional details.
