I have not pursued that.  "quoted" ftp commands are required.  Perl can,
php is supposed to be able to real soon.  And I don't want nweb2fax to
require something in php unless it is in by default in a suse and fedora
install.  Heck, I don't want to recompile php myself.

Your right, it will be very nice.  I'll be able to have nweb2fax on any
server.  right now it is required to be on the same server as the
hylafax server.
