sendfax - again

[norbert.koch@delta-ii.de]

Hi,

Sorry for bothering again and thanks for the help that have come in so
far. I'm still not able to send postscript files. I attach the
typerules file as well as the sendfax verbose output (which looks some
sort of strange to me since I don't understand the matching process).

I've inserted a 'TypeRules:' tagline into my hyla.conf file (which is
said to be read by sendfax - in the man pages).

Any clues? Thanks, norbert.
