Ahh. From your ttyS0 comment, I surmise that you are using Linux. Take
a look at your ~/.profile file if you are using /bin/sh, ~/.cshrc if
you are using /bin/csh, etc. and set it there for individual users on
your client machines.

Setting it universally also depends on which shell you want to set it
*for*. Take a look at the "man" pages for sh, csh, tcsh, bash, etc. to
see how to set those.

This FAXSERVER should default to "localhost" if not otherwise set:
Is this not working, or are you talking about client machines? And
have you modified the $SPOOLDIR/etc/hosts file to permit client
machines to send faxes?
