1. Install hylafax on both machines. 2. Setup the one with the modem as you would normally.. 3. On the other machine, edit /usr/share/fax/hyla.cond Append "Host: <machines ip/host address with modem on it> 4. Edit the file on the modem machine /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts append "^.*@.*$:1002::ABS5SGh1EL6bk" This will let anyone connect, with fax-userid of 1002.. and a "super user" override password of "secret".. See.. it's easy :) <grin> -- Anthony Rumble - Managing Director EverythingLinux.com.au - The Alternative Operating System Store LinuxHelp.com.au - Support,Training,Development,Consulting Phone: 0500 500 368 Direct 02-9712-1799 Fax 02-9712-3977 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
