I now have a functional SRPM/RPM combo here for Redhat 6.2. I believe it
compiles warning free. I would be happy to share them/upload them if you
want them. This version finally sends faxes and receives successfully with
libtiff 3.5.4.

It does have one remaining problem. It occasionally fails to receive a fax
with a :

"An attempt to receive facsimile on ttyS2 failed because:                                  
  Missing EOL after 5 seconds (section 3.2/T.4)"

This isn't immediately a really big deal for us as it is a hit or miss
thing. If it fails our fax system requeues it and it makes it through the
second time 100% ok.

I would like to find a solution to this. I haven't dug through the devel
archives yet...

I should mention that the build has only been tested twice. Once for send
and receive of a single page fax and once for send & receive of a 4 page
fax.

Regards,
Rob
