[hylafax-devel] Re: config/usr-xon & usr-rts

Hi,

Just to add some more "noise" to this conversation...

I have no problems with any change ( programming or otherwise )...

but there should be a PURPOSE for change..

Change just for the sake of change is really pointless...

I haven't followed the regular hylafax user list for a year or so,
but prior to that, I don't remember a single instance of these config
options being a support issue...

If someone could explain what the TANGIBLE benefit is for any of these
changes, that would be very beneficial.

In other words....if it's not broken, don't fix it....

and I know FOR A FACT I need that AA commands for my ZDX modem, and i
use Adaptive Answer on probably 200 or so installations...
