The error message showed that I was using sendfax. and it was trying to deal with the hylafax server.
From the 'man sendfax' page:
sendfax submits one or more facsimile transmission requests to a HylaFAX facsimile server.
There is a specific package called sendfax, which works without using hylafax.
Yup I just discovered that it is part (apparently) of mgetty. Loading it now, but I would guess it is not that much easier to set up than hylafax. Will report back.
And the report..... I deleted hylafax.... installed mgetty+sendfax. Configured it as I think it needed to be configured. Did the kmail - print mail - send to fax bit.... and it is complaining that it "Can't open -C!" The -C option is for a program to generate a cover page but it also says that "-C -" is a special case where it will NOT generate a cover page. The call to faxspool being used in this case specified -C -. So it's not working as planned, and yes, I can probably figure it out but so far it is no easier than hylafax even if I do get it working.
