-| FlexFAX SOFTWARE |
-+------------------+
-
-Sam Leffler's FlexFAX software is still in beta test -- but he expects a
-public version out "later this week" [as of 3/1/93]. The following
-blurb is direct from Sam:

- $Header: /usr/people/sam/fax/RCS/HOWTO,v 1.14 93/05/24 11:42:16 sam Exp $
-
- How To Obtain This Software (in case all you get is this file)
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- The source code is available for public ftp on
- sgi.com sgi/fax/v2.1.src.tar.Z
- (192.48.153.1)
-
- You can also obtain inst'able images for Silicon Graphics machines from
- sgi.com sgi/fax/v2.1.inst.tar
- (192.48.153.1)
-
- For example,
- % ftp -n sgi.com
- ....
- ftp> user anonymous
- ... <type in password>
- ftp> cd sgi/fax
- ftp> binary
- ftp> get v2.1.src.tar.Z
-
- In general, the latest version of the 2.1 release of the software is
- always available as "v2.1.src.tar.Z" or "v2.1.inst.tar" in the ftp
- directory. This file is a link to the appropriate released version (so
- don't waste your time retrieving the linked file as well!) Any files of
- the form v2.1.*.patch are shell scripts that can be used to patch older
- versions of the source code. For example, the file v2.1.0.patch would
- contain patches to update v2.1.0.tar.Z. (Note to beta testers: this is
- different than the naming conventions used during beta testing.) Patch
- files only work to go between consecutive versions, so if you are
- multiple versions behind the latest release, you will need to apply
- each patch file between your current version and the latest.
-
-
- Obtaining the Software by Electronic Mail
- -----------------------------------------
- Do not send me requests for the software; they will be ignored (without
- response). If you cannot use FTP at all, there is a service called
- "ftpmail" available from gatekeeper.dec.com: you can send e-mail to
- this machine and it will use FTP to retrieve files for you and send you
- the files back again via e-mail. To find out more about the ftpmail
- service, send a message to "ftpmail@gatekeeper.dec.com" whose body
- consists of the single line "help".
-
-
- Obtaining the Software Within Silicon Graphics
- ----------------------------------------------
- Internal to Silicon Graphics there are inst'able images on the host
- flake.asd in the directory /usr/dist. Thus you can do something like:
-
- % inst -f flake.asd.sgi.com:/usr/dist/flexfax
-
- to install the latest version of the software on your machine.
-
-
- What to do Once You've Retrieved Stuff
- --------------------------------------
- The external distributions come in a compressed or uncompressed tar
- file. To extract the source distribution:
-
- % zcat v2.1.src.tar.Z | tar xf -
-
- (uncompress and extract individual files in current directory). To
- unpack and install the client portion of the inst'able distribution:
-
- % mkdir dist
- % cd dist; tar xf ../v2.1.inst.tar; cd ..
- % inst -f dist/flexfax
- ...
- inst> go
-
- (Note, the dist subdirectory is because some versions of inst fail if
- the files are in the current directory.) Server binaries are also
- included in the inst'able images as flexfax.server.*. They are not
- installed by default, so to get them also you need to do:
-
- % inst -f flexfax
- ...
- inst> install flexfax.server.*
- inst> go
-
- The SGI binaries were built for Version 4.0.5H of the IRIX operating
- system. They should work w/o problem on earlier versions of the
- system, but I have not fully tested this. Also, note that to install a
- server on an SGI machine, you need to have installed the Display
- PostScript execution environment product (dps_eoe). Otherwise, the fax
- server will not be able to convert PostScript to facsimile for
- transmission.
-
- If you are working from the source distribution, look at the file
- README in the top of the source tree. If you are working from the inst
- images, the subsystem flexfax.man.readme contains the README file and
- other useful pieces of information--the installed files are placed in
- the directory /usr/local/doc/flexfax). Basically you will need to run
- the faxaddmodem script to setup and configure your fax modem. Consult
- the README file and the manual page for faxaddmodem for information.
-
-
- FlexFAX Mail List
- -----------------
- A mailing list for users of this software is located on sgi.com.
- If you want to join this mailing list or have a list-related request
- such as getting your name removed from it, send a request to
-
- majordomo@whizzer.wpd.sgi.com
-
- For example, to subscribe, send the line "subscribe flexfax" in
- the body of your message. The line "help" will return a list of
- the commands understood by the mailing list management software.
-
- Submissions (including bug reports) should be directed to:
-
- flexfax@sgi.com
-
- When corresponding about this software please always specify what
- version you have, what system you're running on, and, if the problem is
- specific to your modem, identify the modem and firmware revision.
