- I just bought a boca FAX/modem, and with it was software to capture HP
- graphics commands, convert them into a faxable document, and then FAX
- them. So I just use an HP .dvi driver, and the above-mentioned
- software. It works VERY well. So far, no problems at all.
-
- Another soulution is to convert the .dvi file direction to a .bfx one.
- I believe emTeX will do this. BUT, you have to have all of the fonts
- at the appropriate resolution for FAXing. I tried this once, but
- never quite got it to work. I think it was a bug in the .bfx part of
- the FAX software, but I'm not sure
