And to add to CP's response; Ubuntu is notorious for having poor dialup support unless it is a serial modem. I have 5 Ubuntu test machines of various flavours: all running Feisty (7.04) except 1 that runs Dapper 6.061, and have yet to get a single dialup modem (fax or otherwise) to work. I got one to break dialtone one evening; don't know how I did it, but the mornings updates broke it again. As for OOo & efax-gtk: if you print to your fax printer from OOo you'll find the OOo printed file in your efax-gtk-server directory. You can view the file with Evince or KghostView, Gimp etc. OOo prints just fine to a faxprinter... getting efax-gtk or even Gfax to work properly on your system to send the fax is a whole other experience. Good luck. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
