Hi,

This weekend I wrote a small fax sending application. Basically it is intended
to be used with the KDE print system, as now it can send to fax, but there's
no KDE fax sending application anymore (ksendfax not ported to KDE-2).

Main features are:
	- supports EFax and Hylafax (use child processes "fax" or "sendfax"
	  and the command line is configurable)
	- use libkab for fax numbers, multiple fax numbers per entry supported
	- simple GUI supporting DND, uses KIO::NetAccess to support remote
	  files
	- implement any-to-PS filter to convert any file type into PS before
	  faxing. Filters are external programs (enscript, imagetops, ...),
	  configurable and defined on a mime type basis. For example you can
	  have this kind of entry "text/* enscript -E -p %out %in". With that
	  filter machanism, you can drop any file on the fax main window.
	- docked into the panel

Questions are:
- Would it be useful to integrate it into main KDE distribution ?
- If yes, where would it be put (for example kdebase/kdeprint) ?

Bye.
Michael.
