Now I need to setup my Linux clients and I've been pulling my hair out trying to get sendfax to work from my Linux client.  I'm not running Xwindows on my Linux clients, just the console.  I have read the manual pages on sendfax.  I put the 'FAXSERVER=<myservername>; export FAXSERVER' in my environment settings and run '/usr/sbin/faxq'.

I do not see any trace of attempting to send a fax in the log files on the server or client.  Can someone give me some pointers, clues or examples on setting up the client under Linux RH v6.2 ?

Two things come instantly to mind:

Does your /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts{.hfaxd} contain 127.0.0.1?

Do you have something that might be firewalling connections from
localhost to port 4559?  Try telnetting to localhost port 4559 and see
if you get a response.

But I think it's the first one.
