Re: HylaFax and Linux solved (2)

Hi again:

   I have the slight suspicion the message got truncated. :-(  That's sad,
because I had written a _lot_.

   Anyway, let me summarize what I said . . .

Problem: Incomplete Network Configuration (loopback does not have a route)

Solution:
   I mentioned that 1) alone solved my problem, but when I restarted the
system things were like before. I decided to add step two to be more
consistent and have a "dummy" network.

1) Add route to localhost:
	/sbin/route add localhost or /sbin/route add 127.0.0.1
2) Build a dummy network:
   2.1) Give an IP to your machine
	/etc/hosts -> 127.0.0.2   <your_name>
   2.2) Create a dummy device
	/sbin/ifconfig dummy 127.0.0.2
   2.3) Add route to it
	/sbin/route add 127.0.0.2

   This solved my problems, so far. I added those entries to
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to make it automatic. I haven't rebooted the system
again to see if it actually works.

   As for how to send a fax, I have no idea yet. I submitted a fax
and it was sent to the queue and never sent out. (?) BTW, check that
/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts has permissions 600.

   Let me know if you figure out how to make the thing work "smoothly".
TkHylaFAX is worth downloading. It makes things quite easier.

   Good luck,

	Gabriel
