# The comms/mgetty+sendfax port

## mgetty+sendfax-1.1.37p1 – handle external logins, send and receive faxes

## Description

    Mgetty+sendfax is a collection of programs to send and receive faxes in
    a unix environment using a class 2.0 or 2 (they're different) faxmodem.
    vgetty is an extension to mgetty, distributed with it, that implements
    incoming voice call handling for certain voice-capable modems, with new
    ones added regularly, if specs are available.

    More specifically, the program `mgetty' allows you to use a class 2.0 or
    2 fax modem for receiving faxes and handling external logins without
    interfering with outgoing calls. `sendfax' is a standalone program which
    sends fax files. `vgetty' is an extended version of mgetty that can
    answer the telephone like an answering machine and record a voice-mail
    message (if it finds one), or perform `mgetty's fax or data call
    handling otherwise. The mgetty+sendfax distribution includes vgetty and
    a good-sized gob of utility programs that help you manage faxes and
    voice messages.
