Hylafax can be set up to *not* answer incoming calls. If you know a fax is coming in, type the command: # faxanswer A quick run down for setting it up. Edit the file "/etc/inittab". Look for lines like those below and uncomment the second one (remove the # sign). # fax getty (hylafax) mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1 You may need to change the "/dev/ttyS1" part to match your modem port. If your not sure what it should be, use Yast to detect your modem. It should give the proper device to use. Now open a terminal and type "su -" and enter your root password. Now you can run "faxsetup" and answer the questions. If you don't know the answer you can probably just hit enter and continue. If you don't want it to answer incoming calls as mentioned above, enter "0" when asked number of rings to answer. HTH Louis
