Re: flexfax: HylaFax (faxgetty) falls over again

Ari,

You're right of course about the beta kernels - but the problem first  manifested itself under 2.2.6 before I became a crazed kernel upgrader - so I'm looking for help to narrow down the area of failure.

My reason for upgrading to 2.2.14 was to see if it cured a problem I was having with another program - diald.  It didn't.  There is a bug in either this software or pppd which means it does not work properly on my Mac (through ttyS0 at least) without changes to the code.  I have, with help, found a fix for this.  I'm wondering whether Hylafax is equally Mac averse - and no, I won't buy a Wintel box :-)

  Iain
