no, you should contact the list which comes closest to the problem: if
there is a problem with hylafax, check the hylafax
website/mailinglists.

if you suspect there is a problem with the combination of freebsd and
hylafax, you want to check the freebsd-mailinglists.

just like any other program you might use.

hylafax is a very mature package, has been running on freebsd for a
long time and has a nice configuration script. hardware may prove to
be more of a problem than software.

before configuring, read the README or other docs provided. check the
hylafax website too.

i am not in any way affiliated with hylafax nor hylafax+freebsd. i am
just another user ( 1 modem ).

regards,

usleep

years, with much satisfaction. it is in the ports.

Hi Dan,

I have not installed portupgrade yet.  I will run /stand/sysinstall later.

Yes. Do it in one of the following ways:

1.
cd /usr/ports/comms/mgetty+sendfax
make install clean

cd /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm
make install clean

2.
portinstall mgetty+sendfax netpbm

(assuming you have portupgrade installed).

Hi Dan,

Tks for your response.  I used efax on RH before.  I think it is the front-end 
(GUI) of mgetty+sendfax.

# cd /usr/ports
# make search name=mgetty
Port:   mgetty-1.1.30.12.16_3
Path:   /usr/ports/comms/mgetty+sendfax
Index:  comms
.

# make search name=netpbm
Port:   netpbm-10.17_1
Path:   /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm
Index:  graphics


# make search name=pbm2g3
no printout

I think I need to install 'mgetty-1.1.30.12.16_3'.  Shall I install 
'netpbm-10.17_1' as well.

Kindly advise.  TIA

B.R.
Stephen

I use mgetty+sendfax (that's the port name). It accepts postscript or g3
format. For text input, it looks like pbmtext (from the netpbm
port/package) will convert text files to a suitable format (and then you
run pbm2g3, which is inclduded in the mgetty+sendfax pacakge).
