FaxLock Command vs. FaxLock Software
By Zak B., Founder & CEO
There are two distinct things named "FaxLock": the FaxLock Linux/FreeBSD command (a system utility to lock the fax server) and FaxLock Software (a secure, HIPAA-compliant digital fax API for businesses). If you are looking for the command line utility, you are on the wrong website. If you are looking for secure digital faxing, you are in the right place.
Are you looking for the "faxlock" Linux Command?
If you are a system administrator looking for the Unix man page for faxlock(8), this is not the right website. The faxlock command is a utility included in some Unix-like operating systems (like FreeBSD) used to tell a HylaFAX server to switch to a LOCKWATT state.
You can find the official manual page for the command here.
Are you looking for FaxLock Software?
