Thanks for the message. What exactly was the problem with the /etc/hosts file? I found that the problem was a little more complicated that that. Linux boxes do not have DNS running by default. They do not have a network defined either. You basically do not need it. HylaFAX, however, needs a "network" and an IP number in order to run the FAX daemon. I ended up defining a "dummy" network and a "fake" IP number for my localhost, so that I was able to run the daemon and all the other programs. I had the same problem with 'rplay'. I don't understand the usefulness of having a daemon running instead of a simple process for standalone machines. These programs seem to be designed for more demanding tasks. Anyway, let me know if you are referring to a different problem. Thanks, Gabriel
