[ale] faxing

[Geoffrey]

Yesterday at the LinuxInGASchools meeting, Tom mentioned that someone at 
the ALE-Central meeting had brought up the issue of scanning images and 
faxing them with a single fax call.

First, you can simply send multiple page faxes using sendfax as in:

sendfax -l ttyS0 $faxnumbersendingto fax1.g3.....faxN.g3

Further, if anyone's interested, I've attached a short script I wrote 
that scans images, presents them for viewing and acceptance, and once 
accepted, faxes them.

It's not a gui, but it works for me. :)

If anyone decides to use this, you very well may need to tweek the call 
to scanimage as it contains some values specific to my scanner. (-d, 
--brightness --contrast...)

As usual, I threw this together in short term, so constructive criticism 
is highly regarded and accepted.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
