Sometimes ago there was thread about fax programs. From it I picked up that efax would be easier to use as Hylafax, Susefax

in SuSE.
Hylafax would be my recommendation. It's installed in just three easy steps.
Step 1. Install Hylafax using Yast
Step 2. Run the "faxsetup" command as the user "root".
Step 3. Uncomment the line in /etc/inittab that says hylafax right above it.
OK, in all fairness step three does require you to answer a few questions.
Dear Louis, Will try your way but run into problems when I want to run the hylafax program. How do you start using hylafax. fax? hylafax? They all give a "command not found"
Have installed and run hylafax. Seemed easier as it looked. Two problems which I have to solve. On one of my faxes I got the error response that the DN could not be received. The resulting fax (my office fax) showed only page one of two. As the other fax went without problem I can survive this problem. The other problem is that my home phone was out of order one whole day until we discovered that every caller got a fax tone after the first ring. A switching of of the modem was the solution but I assume that Hylafax/ mgetty has a software solution ;-). Have looked into the mgetty config file but did not find a solution, at least not one that I understood. Any help i plain English?
