2fax is a commandline program which converts ascii files into fax (tiff)
formatted files. Works with Hylafax (Linux) and bgfax (Dos & Windows).
Special thing about this that it also uses pcx files for logos, signatures, etc.
Has been working for the last 8 years and converted about 120 faxes a day without
any problems.
