Is this an FAQ yet? (hylafax)

There is an etc/hosts file under var/spool/fax with RedHat
There is a man 4 (or 5) hosts, which will help.
If you have a telnet type login you are doing OK.
Please put the most selective entries at the top of the hosts list.

username:uid:passwd:su-passwd
hostname.....
domainname.....

etc.
