NAME
       faxspooler - the fax system spooler program


SYNOPSIS
       faxspooler  [  -l  log  level]  [  -f fax device] [ -d max
       delivery time] [ -r max retry wait time] [  -D  run  as  a
       daemon]  [  -I  use the specified incoming queue] [ -O use
       the specified outgoing  queue]  [  -E  email  address  for
       incoming notification]


DESCRIPTION
       The  faxspooler  commands  invokes  the master fax spooler
       program.  This program receives requests from  other  pro-
       grams  in  the  fax  system, and dispatches them to one or
       more fax modems.

       The faxspooler will receive incoming faxes.   These  faxes
       are  stored in the incoming spooler directory, in numbered
       order.  A directory is created for each fax.  One file for
       each G3 page received is created.  Electronic mail notifi-
       cation of each received fax is sent to the given notifica-
       tion address.


OPTIONS
       -l log level  Specifies  the  debuging log level.  A level
                     of 0 is the least verbose, while a level  of
                     7 is the most verbose.  These levels are the
                     same as used by syslog(8).

       -f device     Specifies the device  to  use  for  the  fax
                     modem.

       -d time       Specifies  the  maximum time, in seconds, to
                     try sending a fax.

       -r time       Specifies the minimum time, in  seconds,  to
                     wait between fax delivery attempts.

       -D            Run the spooler as a daemon.

       -I directory  Use  the  given  directory to spool incoming
                     faxes.

       -O directory  Use the given directory  to  spool  outgoing
                     faxes.

       -E address    Use the given address for email notification
                     of incoming faxes.

       -S            Only send -- don't receive faxes.   In  this
                     mode,  the  modem may still be used by other

                     programs.  If you wish to receive faxes, the
                     modem is placed in fax receive mode and kept
                     open -- this disables other uses.


BUGS
       While the entire system is setup to  handle  multiple  fax
       modems,  a  little more work is required to the setup code
       to make this work.
