Do you have any notes on how you set this up? I just started looking into setting up Hylafax to send faxes from the Iseries. If you have install notes or advice I would greatly appreciate the help.
There is a link on the hylafax website to a java client called gnu-hylafax. gnu-hylafax is a java toolkit that implements the hylafax protocol for you. You can call methods in the gnu-hylafax package directly or (like I did with the help of others on this list) write a wrapper to simplifiy things a little bit. I'd be happy to send you my little wrapper - it is just a little java program that simplifies the calls between RPG and gnu-hylafax.
The process works like this:1. An RPG program creates the printed output. In our case we produce postscript output, but you could just as well produce a regular SCS or AFP spooled file and convert it to PDF. 2. Call the methods in gnu-hylafax (or my wrapper) passing such things as the fax number, the email address of the sender (for confirmation purposes) and full pathname of the file you want to fax.
