The line cannot be ignored, it must be removed before he will be able to
send any faxes.  Well, I am not 100 % positive about that, but I know
it is a problem.  I spent hours one night debugging code to figure out
how it worked.  In PL1, make sure there are ""'s around it, or it 
really barks.

I believe a "default" instalation does not have the line
in the config file.  Most people see the question come up when they run
faxaddmodem ( or faxsetup..., can't remember ), and the see "Class", so
they enter 1 or 2 or 2.0, thinking it is the Class of fax.  It is not.
It defines the "set" of modems that will be used for a destination.  
The default destination is the "any" group.  Other groups can be specified, 
and accessed via the -h ( I think, I am at home now ) command line
paramater to sendfax.

I didn't look at the log file any further, as I always start with the
simple things first, get rid of the one error & see if it resolves the
problem.  If not, then move onto the next stage.

OOPS, I thought I trim'd the file.  Sorry bout that.  I usually do, it's 
just getting up at 6:00 am doesn't do me any good.

Have a good day,
