Version 2.1 of our unix/postscript fax transmission software is
available from anonymous ftp from

transit.ai.mit.edu:/pub/systems/netfax/netfax.tar
transit.ai.mit.edu:/pub/systems/netfax/netfax.tar.Z (compressed)

This software is made to drive a faxmodem which speaks Class 2 (almost a
standard) computer-to-modem protocol. The only modem I know of that 
speaks this to date is the Everex "Everfax 24/96 MODEL D" version. But hopefully when the EIA standard is hammered out, there will be lots of choices. 

I finally got the fax-spooler process to live reliably when
fax-receive is enabled, by punting the select() system call for reading
the serial port, and doing a read() with an alarm() timeout.
