I thought, maybe someone here can help me...

right, they´re created automatically

already changed, no change in behaviour

We are four in our community here and I want to make sure, that
everyone has got his /her own head information (Fax-Number, Name
etc.). In fact, we don´t fax too much, so capacity isn´t a matter

I can. With the first controller defined.

Again, we are four in our community here and I want to make sure, that
everyone has got his /her own head information (Fax-Number, Name
etc.). receiving faxes on different numbers would work using the
etc/users file, but when you send faxes, everybody will use the same
information provided by the fax´s head line; and will use the
provided number to reply -> it would be received in the wrong queue.
I want them seperated.


Thanks for your thoughts, maybe I´ve given you the needed information
to help me solve the problem...

Bye!
