Hi
I'm currently working on porting GNU-netfax to 386BSD.
I have already compilid it (need GNU-make for this).
With the exception of one ioctl, I only had to change some #defines.
I don't know yet if that ioctl is really necessary, because I don't know
what it does. Ultrix and SUNos have it, but 386BSD not. Unfortunately
I couldn't get any docs/info about that ioctl yet.
Another problem is, I am currently very busy with other things,
so it will take at least another month, til I have finished that beast.
BTW: I'm working with a ZyXEL 1496E.
