Re: flexfax: modem not seen ...

Hi,
yust to make something clear:
you have to start only one hfaxd to serve all protocolvariants at 
the same time. Just supply the correct comandline options to hfaxd,
and it will handle the old and the new protocol simultanously.
for details see "man hfaxd".
And don't put it under inetd's control.
