I'm trying to send a windows executable file with Cypheus (just to 
make sure conversion fails). After I hit the send fax button Cypheus 
says "cannot create file". When I hit the OK button Cypheus tells 
me it has send fax number 159 to HylaFAX. My test faxmachine 
then rings and accepts the call and immediately hangs up.

output of faxstat -dl:
HylaFAX scheduler on faxserver.intern.meteocon.nl: Running
Modem ttyD000 (423164): Running and idle
Modem ttyD001 (423164): Running and idle

159  127 D  raspe 420697        0:0   1:3 

the que file (q159) is then moved to the doneq dir.
