Fax System Based on Linux

Article Title: A fax system based on the Linux operating system. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Fax is a common application in enterprises. Many business exchanges require the use of fax for information exchange, but it is impossible to provide a fax machine for everyone. In Linux, you can build a fax server system that everyone can use.

Condition:

1. Linux operating system

2. efax Server

3. Support for modem types 1 and 2

The fax system has been fully configured in the RedHat 6 operating system. The key is to build the system. There are some errors in the default system configuration. You can refer to the FAX-Server mini HOWTO for correction.

How can I send a file by fax? Efax supports various file formats. The most commonly used format is text format and G3 G3 graphic format, while other types of files only need to be converted to these two types by appropriate tools, you can send the email by fax.

To build a good fax server, the most important thing for Chinese people is to support Chinese characters. Because it is not to send a fax by scanning, when sending a fax using the efax system, convert a Chinese file to a graphic file named G3 G3. The general conversion method is as follows:

Text-> ps-> limit G3 or sgml-> ps-> limit G3

Sharing is the last step in the fax system. After creating a fax server, you can consider creating a gateway from email to fax or a gateway from Web to fax, it is a great pleasure to enable users to send faxes by email or by sending faxes through a browser. Of course, the most common thing is to establish a shared printing system to the fax gateway, in this way, you can use a fax like a printer.
