I already have mgetty installed, together with Hylafax, and I understand that mgetty will pass on non-fax calls but how does it know where to pass those calls to ( e.g. Seyon) ? > Depending upon what sort of remote system you are using you could just log > into a shell and use zmodem or kermit to transfer files, or you could get > fancy and set up pppd and samba or nfs to remotely access your filesystems. The remote system is a friend who is a complete computer Dumbo but who can, just about, work a windows comms package to dial my machine at which point I want to initiate a file transfer. Why do I want to do it this way round? He pays for the call! I have been doing this with ZOC on OS/2 but am now, slowly, transferring operations to Linux. Barry Samuels
