I read the man page for faxgetty. You are most likely correct. In 
reading the man page, is says that faxgetty "is typically started by 
init(8C)". Not being a total expert (I know enough to know that I don't 
know), I know that init files are usually something I shy away from - 
too easy to make the computer unbootable - been there, done that :-( ...

Tried running faxgetty from the command line - didn't expect it to work, 
but sometimes things do anyway. I was correct, booted KDE System Guard 
and faxgetty is not listed.

Could you expand a little and explain how to get faxgetty running when 
the computed is booted.

Thanks,
Terry
