About fax + bbs, On Thu May 05 2005

ac> Possibly opening a can of worms, but can anyone here recommend some
ac> free software for Linux (or FreeBSD) that will set up a fax modem to
ac> answer fax calls, but if the call was not a fax, fall back to a
ac> FidoNet mailer, to work as a FidoNet node?  I'd like to run this on
ac> a Pentium 133 with 64 Mb RAM and a 1 Gb HDD.  This will be the PC's
ac> sole function.  FidoNet mail processing, fax viewing, etc. will be
ac> done by another machine on my network. 


Sorry about the long quote, if Binkley has been ported to Linux it should
do the trick very well indeed.  I am not sure if BGFAX has been ported, the
author might release the code for porting if one can catch up to him.  The
source for Binkley is freely available.  The Husky project may also have
something out there that will do the trick.

If memory serves PMFAX for linux is freeware, but probably will not do the trick.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
