Re: [hylafax-users] Questions on HylaFAX install on Mac OS X

[Geraud@t-online.de (Guillemain)]

Tom,

for an unknown reason  bash was not working in my 10.2, I am 
reinstalling it with fink therefor I had trouble with configuring
hylafax 4.1.3 with bash.

Do you have cu.modem and tty,modem in you /dev directory ?

Bei mir faxaddmodem accept only cu.usbmodem which is my port to the usb 
modem.
