Re: [hylafax-users] need major help with hylafax installation

[Pedro Rocadas <procadas@yahoo.com>]

Take your time sh the and read without any rush the
Howto at the website. There, you will find some lines
about adding a line in /etc/inittab and the use of
faxgetty. But if you don't like Howtos, wich is sad,
you must add a line like this(but you must read the
Howto to be sure about the syntax :-D):

s2:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS2. About
faxstat asking for password, check the HylaFAQ. You
will find a contribution from me about the issue and
how to solve it.
