I'm in the process of building a system to send/receive faxes via a proxy server of sorts. (There is a machine located at a remote location with no QoS to where the phone line is located, so this is the only way I can see to accomplish it.) My server where the phone line is physically located runs FreeBSD 8.0.
After doing research, I found that Hylafax should be able to do what I need. However, when going to build it on my BSD box, it wants to build X as a dependency. X is not needed for anything on this machine and I'd like to get away without compiling/installing everything on the planet just to create a fax relay. (At times, it seems like people throw X in as a port dependency just for fun, whether or not the software actually uses anything in X or not...
)
Does anybody know how I can force Hylafax to build without having X? Alternately, does anyone know of another piece of fax software available for FreeBSD that can receive faxes to a file and send faxes from a file from the command line?
