[Bug 426135] Re: Fax-by-internet integrated in Ubuntu

[Bryan Quigley]

It might be possible to do this by finding out what format they submit
it in.

On the other hand, is this still important to you in 2015?

Title:
  Fax-by-internet integrated in Ubuntu

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There exist some proprietary solutions which make the fax service very
  convenient:

  1) Install proprietary plugin, so that you have a fax printer installed in the "print" menu
  2) If you want to fax a document choose "print" -> "fax printer"
  3) add telephone number
  4) fax is sent by internet connection to a fax server. This fax servers deliver the fax to the recipient
  5) when fax delivered, get back a report (usually by email), so that you can print the fax report.

  There is no comparable fax integration in ubuntu. I'm missing this
  feature (integrated fax-by-internet functionality).

  Wouldn't it make sense to program an API so that different fax servers can offer this fax service?
  Wouldn't it make sense if Canonical would offer such a service? I would even pay for that (5 €-Cent per page)?
