Hi,
I have been looking at some Linux sets via ftp, reading these letters, and
installed a Debian and a Slackware (obtained via ftp, no applications in either
case).
Why is Debian better?
I'm serious, this is not intended to get everybody all excited. I'm ready to
buy a CD set and I want
Netscape runs _fine_ if you use the Debian installer package! Actually,
all you really need to do is point it to the existing XKeySymDB file.
People have kept saying this and everyone assumes that the person asking
knows how to point Netscape to XKeySymDB. First of all, I tried using

I have 2 questions. I have looked in manual and info pages but cannot
seem to find the answers.
1. Is there a simple program to talk transparently to my RS232 port.

Debian box to act as an RS232 terminal for another computer.
It would probably be good to split mgetty into
mgetty
mgetty-fax
mgetty-voice
mgetty-doc
That does not solve the problem with accepting incoming faxes though.
Although hylaxfax does have something to offer in this regard. I have
no idea how to integrate that.

I asked this question sometime ago but I don't think there was an answer. I

This is a headache...

Ok. I will put the fax related files in a separate package mgetty-fax

Thus hylafax should conflict with mgetty-fax .

You should not have to compile the ibcs package. If your system has direct
