Hi,

I had sent this to the hylafax-devel mailing list, but realized that there
(it seems) has been no activity on that list since 8/26/2000.  Not sure that
it was even active any more, I decided to post my comment here as well.
Please, no one get their panties in a wad!  :-)  I am not passing judgement
one way or another on how Hylafax development is organized now.  I meerly am
tossing this on the table.

Thanks,

Mark
