# Summary: fax to E-Mail helper application for asterisk PBX              |
# Description: fax2mail is a helper application which sits between        |
#   asterisk and a MTA.  Is is designed to be called by asterisk upon the |
#   receipt of a new fax.  It will forward the received fax to the email  |
#   address of choice, and will convert the file the one of several       |
#   formats.                                                              |

#   fax2mail allows these parameters from asterisk as follows:            |
#     -p = To attach in pdf format (default)                              |
