Re: flexfax: faxq hangs...

Hi,

Search the mail archives & FAQ at www.hylafax.org. Look for "maxing out
cpu".

FAQ Q22 addresses this behaviour. Change O_RDONLY to O_RDWR in config.site
and rebuild. Check the FAQ for precise details.

If this doesn't work, the mail archive for Dec 99 lists a method I used to
get round the problem. It's unsatisfactory, but it works. If you come up
with something better, mail the list!
