Description

Mgetty+sendfax is a collection of programs to send and receive faxes in a unix environment using a class 2.0 or 2 (they're different) faxmodem. vgetty is an extension to mgetty, distributed with it, that implements incoming voice call handling for certain voice-capable modems, with new ones added regularly, if specs are available.

More specifically, the program `mgetty' allows you to use a class 2.0 or 2 fax modem for receiving faxes and handling external logins without interfering with outgoing calls. `sendfax' is a standalone program which sends fax files. `vgetty' is an extended version of mgetty that can answer the telephone like an answering machine and record a voice-mail message (if it finds one), or perform `mgetty's fax or data call handling otherwise. The mgetty+sendfax distribution includes vgetty and a good-sized gob of utility programs that help you manage faxes and voice messages.
