Hi,

I tired to configure HylaFax by running Faxsetup from root login - but what i
get is an message that "egetty" is not installed but at the same time it
informs that this is not a serious problem either link the program if residing
elsewhere to /sbin/egetty - however I couldn't find where egetty is installed.
Any tips on getting "FaxSetup" to work will be most useful.

TIA,

- Maneesh
