I'm occasionally tempted to abandon HylaFAX's perfectly working init script in
favour of something more redhat-ish. But if it ain't broke . . . ;-) Tell you 
what Nico, I'll have an RPM for you to test tomorrow and you can tell me what 
you think of the stock hylafax generated by configure, minus the -o and 
perhaps the -s of course.

Though I may argue, you can't fault me on HylaFAX experience . . . not sure if there's a platform I _haven't_ installed it on . . . bsdi perhaps. Of course I may still not know how it's _supposed_ to be done *worship*  8-)
