Fax Support

[michaelzoidl]

Hi Florian,

at first, awesome plugin, that's exactly what i need.
I need this plugin to send automatically faxes to my tax consultant (Steuerberater) from my accounting software (Buchführungs-Programm) with some kind of interval (once a day or something).

Do you have any plans to support that in the upcoming time? Otherwise i would take a look how difficult that is.

Currently i'm using Faxbot to send faxes from my mac, it's using the fritz-box api (i think in a similar way this plugin is written), so i think it should be also possible in our case.

PS. Hab mal eben auf Englisch geschrieben, keine Ahnung ob's die Fritzbox auch außerhalb von Deutschland gibt, könnte aber uU. auch für andere Leute intressant sein :)

@michaelzoidl I don't plan to support sending fax. Main reason for that is that I've never used a fax in my entire life. 😕 The other reason is that my FritzBox (3490) AFAIK doesn't support fax.

If you're able to send a PR I'll gladly accept it though. Otherwise I can't do anything about this issue.

Ok, yay, i already thought that's not on your roadmap for this project.
I check later the API of the fritzbox and how i can send the files etc.

Important for me is the check if the router supports this feature, i've the 6490 and i can fax :)
I keep you up to date :)
