Dear Paul:

I sent you a copy of this message to your personal address.

Take a look and you'll see that the ghostscript error messages are GONE!

Why?

I deleted the soft links and created hard links from 6.01 to both 5.10
AND 5.50. My ghostscript version is 5.50 so I figured that should work.
And it did!

[sher@adsl-77-233-178 ghostscript]$ ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         4096 May 28 20:26 ./
drwxr-xr-x  90 root     root         4096 May 28 12:27 ../
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            4 May 28 20:24 5.10 -> 6.01/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            4 May 28 20:26 5.50 -> 6.01/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         4096 May 28 12:21 6.01/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 May 28 12:22 fonts/
[sher@adsl-77-233-178 ghostscript]$
                                                           

All that's left now is actually testing it and sending and receiving a
fax. And this remains my last unresolved problem. Please see below. Any
idea how I can solve this.

faxsetup 
Setup program for HylaFAX (tm) 4.1beta2. 
Created for i686-pc-linux on Thu May 25 10:24:59 EDT 2000. 
Reading cached parameters from /var/spool/fax/etc/setup.cache. 
Checking system for proper client configuration. Checking system for
proper server configuration. 

Warning: /bin/egetty does not exist or is not an executable program! 
The file: 
    /bin/egetty 
does not exist or this file is not an executable program.  The HylaFAX
software optionally uses this program and the fact that it does not
exist on the system is not a fatal error.  If the program resides in a
different location and you do not want to install a symbolic link for
/bin/egetty that points to your program then you must reconfigure and
rebuild HylaFAX from source code. 
Make /var/spool/fax/bin/ps2fax a link to /var/spool/fax/bin/ps2fax.gs. 

Modem support functions written to /var/spool/fax/etc/setup.modem.
Configuration parameters written to /var/spool/fax/etc/setup.cache. 
Restarting HylaFAX server processes. 
You have a HylaFAX scheduler process running.  faxq will be restarted
shortly, as soon as some other work has been completed. Can I terminate
this faxq process (618) [yes]? Should I restart the HylaFAX server
processes [yes]? 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/hylafax start HylaFAX: faxq hfaxd (without old protocol
or SNPP support).  
You do not appear to be using faxgetty to notify the HylaFAX scheduler
about new modems and/or their status.  This means that you must use the
faxmodem program to inform the new faxq process about the modems you
want to have scheduled by HylaFAX.  Beware that if you have modems that
require non-default capabilities specified to faxmodem then you should
read faxmodem(1M) manual page and do this work yourself (since this
script is not intelligent enough to automatically figure out the modem
capabilities and supply the appropriate arguments).  
Should I run faxmodem for each configured modem [yes]?
/usr/sbin/faxmodem ttyS1  
Done verifying system setup.

The SENDFAX test:

[root@adsl-77-233-178 sher]# sendfax -d phoneno /etc/hosts

Thanks so much.
