Hi,
with LyX 1.4.2 the configure script has been rewritten in Python.
With this script it's possible to detect and use kdeprintfax or ksendfax.

So I installed efax to take a look at it. The problem I see with efax and
possibly hylafax aswell is that you need to give it the receivers fax number
as a commandline parameter. As far as I can tell it's ATM not possible to
enter the number within LyX so it's impossible to send a fax directly from
LyX with efax.

Options I can see ATM:
a) Downgrade this bug to wishlist -> fwd to upstream
b) Write and supply kind of a wrapper script with the LyX Debian package
which asks for the fax number and sends the fax. Sounds like a candidate for
Tcl/Tk but I don't know how the fax stuffs works and I've no test enviroment
I could use to try it out.

Opinions and/or other options you see?

Cheers,
Sven
