Didn't find any suitable wiki-page, so I guess your guide is the best
place to add this to.

Fax support in Kubuntu

KDE 4.0 comes shipped with KSendFax, which can be used only to send fax
(not recive). First you need to install a basic fax software, like eFax
or HylaFax (included in Hoary Universe). At least eFax must be
configured manually by editing /etc/efax.conf before it can be used.
Make also sure that a /dev/modem link exists and points to the correct
location (/dev/ttyS0 = COM1, /dev/ttyS1 = COM2).

 From KSendFax you may send PostScript-files directly, but the most
convinient way to use fax, is to print you documents to the "Send fax"
device from KDE applications, which automatically opens KSendFax.

KSendFax uses the same contact book as the rest of KDE-applications
(Kontakt).

(tested to work on one machine with eFax)
