This could be a case of encryption of 98 passwords?
..but my guess is that it has more to do with
/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts (man 5 hosts)

The simplest work around is to set your username 
under WHFC to user@localhost with the supplied
hosts file.

If that works, add security to hosts like...

192.168.1 

... on a line by itself (like the 127.0.0 entry)
which will allow local domain logins!
