I don't consider myself lazy or inexperienced, but I also found Hylafax
far too hard to set up.  There is an RPM for it but that just copies
hundreds of files to scores of directories -- you still need to configure
it before you can use it.  It also required a couple of other packages I
didn't have that were even harder to install.

Efax was much easier, although I still had to fiddle with the viewer
parameters in the "fax" shell script to get readable resolution.
Trial and error eventually led me to this:

  VIEW='$EFIX -ve -opgm -s3x3 -r600x400 $f'
