Lines: 26 Message-ID: <3cq8lm$imf@gate2.internet-eireann.ie> NNTP-Posting-Host: gate1.internet-eireann.ie X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] We just installed some nice new USR Courier V34 modems, so I thought let's get fax up and running with these so I unpacked Flexfax 2.2.1 and applied the two patches. Configured, compiled, and installed no problems :). BUT :( 1: Error messages from faxaddmodem about stdin being the control while stdout is redirected. These did not seem to cause any problems - so continued. 2: Started fax server and test Receive fax - no error messages but the resultant file is garbage :( An A4 sheet turns into a few black lines at the end of the page. Send fax - seems to get part way and then falls over. This mess is so bad I must have done something wrong - or the V34 Courier is very different from the V32bis one flexfax thinks it's found. Any ideas anybody ?? -- Steve O'Hara-Smith email: steve@internet-eireann.ie Internet Eireann phone: 2781060 or 8551724 Gardiner House, 64-66 Lr Gardiner Street, Dublin 1
