Re: flexfax: Can not reach server at host "localhost", port4559.

Tim:
"null" and "tcp" exist but I don't have "socksys" - are you sure I need this on solaris?
If so, can you do an "ls -l" of it, so I can see the major,minor numbers I need to create it? Ta
and 
Ulrich, I don't have a hylafax entry in /etc/inetd.conf
Thanks to you both

Marina

Just a guess here.  Check the permissions of the dev files in
/path_to_HylaFax_spool_directory/spool/dev
You should have null, tcp, and socksys and they should be 666.
