- Mine sends and receives faxes just fine. Uucp just carries right on
- doing its thing, DFax seems to stay right out of the way, as advertised.
-
- One thing that frustrated me a little was DFax's insistence on living
- in /LocalApps. I'm a little shy on disk space, so I keep /LocalApps
- as a link to an optical disk. No big deal, I guess - I just rearranged
- the links a bit - after some grumbling.
-
- I had trouble recieving data calls - just garbage after connect - but
- Bruce Gingery of TotSysSoft responded immediately (as usual) to my email,
- pointing out a typo in his addition to my gettytab. Everything works
- just fine now.

- According to NeXT's docs, mailing faxes to a user has been removed from
- NS 3.0. I spent about 2 hours last night trying to get the system to send
- me notifying mail when a fax arrives, to no avail. If anyone knows how to
- set this up under 3.0, I'd be eternally grateful ...
