Re: flexfax: Does anybody see why faxgetty is crashing my machine?

[David Birnbaum <davidb@chelsea.net>]

I see you are running Solaris 2.4, notorious for various serial line
bugs.  There are two possibiliites:

1.  You have a bad serial port
2.  A bad signal is being generated causing your kernel to dump

I you have sun maintenance, get a crash dump and send it to them for
analysis.  They will probably have a patch for it.  Otherwise, you could
try upgrading to 2.5.1.
