-Subject: F A X I N G with S A M B A
-==========================================================================
-
-This text describes how to turn your SAMBA-server into a fax-server
-for any environment, especially for Windows.
- Author: Gerhard Zuber <zuber@berlin.snafu.de>
- Version: 1.4
- Date: 04. Aug. 1997
-
-Requirements:
- UNIX box (Linux preferred) with SAMBA and a faxmodem
- ghostscript package
- mgetty+sendfax package
- pbm package (portable bitmap tools)
-
-FTP sites:
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Serial/mgetty+sendfax*
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/mgetty+sendfax
- ftp.leo.org:/pub/comp/networking/communication/modem/mgetty/mgetty1.1.6-May05.tar.gz
-
- pbm10dec91.tgz
- ftp.leo.org:/pub/comp/networking/communication/modem/mgetty/pbm10dec91.tgz
- sunsite.unc.edu: ..../apps/graphics/convert/pbmplus-10dec91-bin.tar.gz
- ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/grafik/pbmplus.src.tar.Z (this is 10dec91 source)
- or ??? pbm10dec91.tgz pbmplus10dec91.tgz
-
-
-making mgetty+sendfax running:
-==============================
-
- go to source tree: /usr/src/mgetty+sendfax
- cp policy.h-dist policy.h
-
- change your settings: valid tty ports, modem initstring, Station-Id
-
-#define MODEM_INIT_STRING "AT &F S0=0 &D3 &K3 &C1\\\\N2"
-
-#define FAX_STATION_ID "49 30 12345678"
-
-#define FAX_MODEM_TTYS "ttyS1:ttyS2:ttyS3"
-
- Modem initstring is for rockwell based modems
- if you want to use mgetty+sendfax as PPP-dialin-server,
- define AUTO_PPP in Makefile:
-
-CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -pipe -DAUTO_PPP
-
- compile it and install the package.
- edit your /etc/inittab and let mgetty running on your preferred
- ports:
-
-s3:45:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty ttyS2 vt100
-
- now issue a
- kill -HUP 1
- and enjoy with the lightning LEDs on your modem
- your now are ready to receive faxes !
-
-
- if you want a PPP dialin-server, edit
- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config
-
-/AutoPPP/ - ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth debug passive modem
-
-
- Note: this package automatically decides between a fax call and
- a modem call. In case of modem call you get a login prompt !
-
-Tools for printing faxes:
-=========================
-
- your incomed faxes are in:
- /var/spool/fax/incoming
-
- print it with:
-
- for i in *
- do
- g3cat $i | g3tolj | lpr -P hp
- done
-
- in case of low resolution use instead:
-
- g3cat $i | g3tolj -aspect 2 | lpr -P hp
-
-
- g3cat is in the tools-section, g3tolj is in the contrib-section
- for printing to HP lasers.
-
- If you want to produce files for displaying and printing with Windows, use
- some tools from the pbm-package like follow
-
- g3cat $i | g3topbm - | ppmtopcx - >$i.pcx
-
- and view it with your favourite Windows tool (maybe paintbrush)
-
-
-Now making the fax-server:
-===========================
-
- fetch the file
- mgetty+sendfax/frontends/winword/faxfilter
-
- and place it in
-
- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/
-
- prepare your faxspool file as mentioned in this file
- edit fax/faxspool.in and reinstall or change the final
- /usr/local/bin/faxspool too.
-
- if [ "$user" = "root" -o "$user" = "fax" -o \
- "$user" = "lp" -o "$user" = "daemon" -o "$user" = "bin" ]
-
- find the first line and change the second.
-
- make sure you have pbmtext (from the pbm-package). This is
- needed for creating the small header line on each page.
- Notes on pbmplus:
- Some peoples had problems with precompiled binaries (especially
- at linux) with a shared lib libgr.so.x.x. The better way is
- to fetch the source and compile it. One needs only pbmtext for
- generating the small line on top of each page /faxheader). Install
- only the individual programs you need. If you install the full
- package then install pbmplus first and then mgetty+sendfax, because
- this package has some changed programs by itself (but not pbmtext).
-
- make sure your ghostscript is functional. You need fonts !
- I prefer these from the OS/2 disks
-
- prepare your faxheader
- /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/faxheader
-
- edit your /etc/printcap file:
-
-# FAX
-lp3|fax:\
- :lp=/dev/null:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/lp3:\
- :if=/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/faxfilter:sh:sf:mx#0:\
- :lf=/usr/spool/lp3/fax-log:
-
-
-
-
- edit your /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
-
- so you have a smb based printer named "fax"
-
-
-The final step:
-===============
-
- Now you have a printer called "fax" which can be used via
- TCP/IP-printing (lpd-system) or via SAMBA (windows printing).
-
- On every system you are able to produce postscript-files you
- are ready to fax.
-
- On Windows 3.1 95 and NT:
-
- Install a printer wich produces postscript output,
- e.g. apple laserwriter
-
- connect the "fax" to your printer
-
-
- Now write your first fax. Use your favourite wordprocessor,
- write, winword, notepad or whatever you want, and start
- with the headerpage.
-
- Usually each fax has a header page. It carries your name,
- your address, your phone/fax-number.
-
- It carries also the recipient, his address and his *** fax
- number ***. Now here is the trick:
-
- Use the text:
- Fax-Nr: 123456789
- as the recipients fax-number. Make sure this text does not
- occur in regular text ! Make sure this text is not broken
- by formatting information, e.g. format it as a single entity.
- (Windows Write and Win95 Wordpad are functional, maybe newer
- versions of Winword are breaking formatting information).
-
- The trick is that postscript output is human readable and
- the faxfilter program scans the text for this pattern and
- uses the found number as the fax-destination-number.
-
- Now print your fax through the fax-printer and it will be
- queued for later transmission. Use faxrunq for sending the
- queue out.
-
- Notes of SAMBA smb.conf:
- Simply use fall through from the samba printer to the unix
- printer. Sample:
-
-
- printcap name = /etc/printcap
- print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P %p %s
- lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P %p
- lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P %p %j
-
-
-[fax]
- comment = FAX (mgetty+sendfax)
- path = /tmp
- printable = yes
- public = yes
- writable = no
- create mode = 0700
