You have to edit the /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts file and make the
appropriate entries for you client machine. Make an entry for your
client's IP address, eg:

    If Client IP address -> 192.168.1.10
    Add the following line /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts:

        192.168.1.10

man hosts(4) for more details.
