Terry Dawson's patches to FlexFAX should not be needed, they were mainly:
1. Fixing the paths etc, that configure should do. Configure
needs an ed(1) that handles commands like s;/bin;/sbin; to
work. From the POSIX file in Andrew Moore's (alm) ed(1):
Synopsis: (.,.)s/RE/replacement/flags
...
Any character other than <space> or <newline> can be
used instead of a slash to delimit the RE and the replacement.
There has been patches (By alm and me) to elvis-1.7 so that
it can be installed as an ed(1) that handles this, but his
ed(1) (it is a pure ed, not related to elvis) does not handle
this other delimiters.
2. Changing faxaddmodem to use Chris' serial driver. When using
standard 386BSd serial drivers the changes are not needed.
I was doing the 386BSD port of FlexFAX and at least on my system
no patches are needed.
