If you have a network with PC machines which run Windows and a UNIX machine which runs XFAX, these worlds can be combined and XFAX used direct from the Windows environment.

7.1 The XFAX Windows client (printer driver)

The XFAX Windows client is actually a Windows printer driver. It works with Windows 95/98/NT4/2000. However it requires Winsock 2 which, for Windows 95, needs to be downloaded from Microsoft and installed.
