- FIXME: This item needs to be documented
+ mgetty+sendfax is a reliable and proven fax send and receive solution.
+
+ mgetty is a modem-aware getty. It supports modems with the Hayes AT
+ command set and is especially designed for supporting modems that
+ are used to send faxes and to dial out as well as dial in. These
+ features are not required for a serial console.
+
+ Sendfax is designed to be able to send exactly one fax (consisting
+ of multiple pages) to exactly one fax machine, but it is usable from
+ within shell scripts. Its input are pages in "g3" format, either
+ created with ghostscript or with pbm2g3.
