Message-ID: <Zy80Dc1w165w@oasys.pc.my> Date: Thu, 09 Dec 93 08:26:34 +800 Organization: Telekom Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia Lines: 21 I managed to compile fax 3.2.. by commenting out the XON and getting the libraries in the right places. When running faxps, it gave an error message saying that it cannot communicate with the faxspooler. I made the host for the faxspooler as othman, one of the users in my system. I develop as "root". I've tried creating a user "fax" and now my internal fax modem shows some activity but there is error "read error ...". I'm not worried about that because I'll try to fix the send.c code which does not seem to use POSIX but SysVish termios. Is there any later versions with better documentations on how to install this fax? Any comment is most appreciated. SABAH is HEAVEN. Beautiful islands, mountains and jungles are next to 5 star hotels. There are no natural and very few man-made disasters, BUT for how long will it last? Disclaimer: I only speak for myself
