Re: [hylafax-users] hosts.hfaxd question

[Robert Herzog <rherzog@sga.ulb.ac.be>]

Hi,
Thanks for answering my question. But is this not 10.0.0.0 rather than 
10.0.0 as you state. Indeed, if your local network is 10.0.0.0, then 
putting this network IP in the file could open the service to all 
locals. In my case, the local network is 192.168.0.0, so do you think I 
put 192.168.0 or 192.168.0.0 ?
But basically, this does not solve my problem, as what I need most (I 
already have local service, having put each individual local IP address 
in the file) is fax service for users on completely different, Internet 
connected networks. These paople get a dynamic IP address, so it is 
impossible to provide irelevant info about them, whenever they got 
connected.
Can someone help me further down this line ?
