	Hi all. As I see You make some great things to merge RedHat 5.0 and
HylaFAX. I have some problems with tag line. Sam tells about this:

	So what I must do with RedHat for supporting more than '7-bit ASCII'? I
compiled locale support with localedef and export LANG=lt_LT. No
results... First of all I thought, that main reason of this is WHFC
client. To ensure I make slightly modified tagtest, witch put some
extended characters on tag line. The line witch formats 'sender' now
looks like:
fxStr   sender("Kestas \128\129\130\131\132\133\134\135");
                ^^^^^^ All these looks OK
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^All these are
skipped       
(sorry... My first program in C++ :-))
