Note for those with Multitechs, ATI1 gives you firmare release and ATI4 gives
release date.

I had the devil of a time getting ServerTracing to work with an setting of 13.  
I logged it to local5 and had /etc/sysconf.conf logging to /usr/fax/etc/syslog
which is where I have HylaFAX installed.  Never got a single message in either
that or /var/log/messages.

I restarted faxq after modifiying etc/config to reflect the above, and
syslogd take the new syslog.conf.

Any suggestions on how to get SystemTracing to work?
