I was using Fedora Core 5 until the computer died a silent death. I was 
using HylaFAX and the same external data/fax modem with FC 5. Took a 
week or so and a lot of help from the good people on this mailing list 
to get HylaFAX to work under FC 5. Adding the 2 above lines were all 
that was needed under FC 5. So I just took the precautionary action of 
peremptorily adding them this time. Are they the proper settings - I 
don't really know. I added them before attempting to send a test fax. 
The test fax worked, but that doesn't mean that it would not have worked 
without the 2 added lines.

There I would have absolutely no idea. HylaFAX is a tool I use and I am 
NOT an expert in HylaFAX or its installation by any means. I merely sent 
the information to the mailing list since I have been getting the 
mailing list updates for a few years and know that many experts such as 
yourself are actively supporting HylaFAX. I just thought that this would 
be some more data that you could maybe use. If maybe someone had a 
problem getting HylaFAX to work properly under Linux, the above 2 lines 
may be one possible suggestion to use.

Okay - Thanks - I'll leave it at 1 then
