Source: Freshmeat Daily News DrygerFax is a HylaFAX client for Windows which
communicates through a special server running on
Linux. It employs Samba and CUPS on the server to
present a full-fleged network printer. Once a
print job has been submitted, the server calls
back to the client to ask for the fax information.
Unlike some clients, this one does not need custom
printer driver software to print, since the
printer is presented as a generic Postscript
printer. Unlike other clients, this one "phones
home" to the user to get information needed to
fax.
