Does anyone know of a FAX dvi driver that can send a dvi file using >a generic FAXmodem? Any information would be very helpful. > The most useful software for sending .dvi files by FAX I've seen came with my 14.4K Boca modem. It's called QLINK, and it includes a TSR to capture output to a HP compatible printer, and send it via FAX. In other words, anything you can print on an HP compatible laser printer, QLINK can send over a fax. QLINK includes complete PCL 5 emulation. What I do now is just use the HP dvi driver that comes with emTeX, capture the output via QLINK, and off it goes. (This would also work for WP, Ghostscript, Pagemaker, etc.) -Joel (joel@wam.umd.edu)
