    Test unter Debian:
    SuSEFax.callSendfax: SuSEFax.PROTOException: Faild to submit job 6:
    Unable to open scheduler FIFO: No such device or address.
    
    Fehlermeldung unter RedHat identisch.

	....

The message says that the hfaxd(1M) can't tell the scheduler
anything about the new job (because we stopped the scheduler faxq(1M)
for this test); just ignore this message for the moment; the
job is in the queue and you should inspect its PostScript
file(s). If you later restart the scheduler you can push the
job with faxalter(1) and check the resulting TIFF/F file(s) too.

If sendfax(1) works while other clients don't there is perhaps a
problem in the PostScript file.
