(excerpt from HylaFAX FAQ, http://www.vix.com/hylafax/FAQ/Q1.html)

HylaFAX is a facsimile system for UNIX systems. It supports:
o sending facsimile
o receiving facsimile
o polled retrieval of facsimile
o transparent shared data use of the modem
o sending messages to pagers
Facsimile can be any size (e.g. A4, B4), either 98 or 196 lpi, and
transmitted/received as either 1D-encoded or 2D-encoded facsimile data
(2D-encoded data is frequently more compact and hence takes a shorter
time to communicate). Any modem that supports one of the standard
interfaces for facsimile operation can be used; i.e. any Class 1, Class
2, or Class 2.0 modem.

Log message: comms/hylafax: Note new upstream Updating to the new release from upstream will take some effort as a lot of patches need to be hand merged. Withdraw comment about a tiff utility being missing, as tiff put it back.

Log message: comms/hylafax: Drop MESSAGE It: - gives wrong advice about rc.local, when there is an rc.d file - is redundant with upstream docs, which are extensive and thus does not contain anything that belongs iN MESSAGE.

Log message: comms/hylafax: Note that this does not build with the current tiff Also note that it is no longer maintained, and point to a new upstream bug that it fails to build with up-to-date tiff. (Today, stop short of BROKEN, but probably that will be coming.)
