Thanks Darren,

I gave this a try and I still can't telnet to port 4557. (or use winflex)
I connect,  but as soon as I type user xxxxxxx it says Connection 
close by foreign host.
In my /etc/services file, I have a line that says

fax 	4557/tcp	#Old Flexfax client-server protocol

Is this all right or should it be changed, or removed?

Thanks
Chris
