Re: flexfax: problems with faxrcvd script...

Hi! :)

thanks for the response.  i've tried doing a cp $FILE /tmp/fax(made sure
that directory existed) and it did nothing.(that is, did not copy the
file)  so i dunno.  that is what is confusing me(as to why it is not
working) because that right there isn't exactly rocket science, but it
does not work, none the less.

any more/other ideas?
