	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 ??
