flexfax: I broke something!

[Randy Currin <rcurrin@4talents.com>]

	For several weeks, Hylafax has been running just fine on my laptop.  Yesterday,
I installed KDE 1.1.1, and StarOffice quit working.  Someone on the KDE list
suggested I reinstall StarOffice.

	StarOffice wouldn't reinstall, because it wanted glibc 2.0.7, and I had
previously upgraded to glibc 2.1.1.  Making a gross rookie error, I proceeded to
uninstall glibc 2.1.2, planning to reinstall 2.0.7.  Everything died as soon as
I did this, and then I saw the fine print in the RedHat book saying that Linux
couldn't run without this library.

	I then booted off of the RH 5.2 CD, and told it to upgrade my system.  It
identified that I needed glibc, and installed the original 2.0.7/ glibc.   The
system booted ok, and I was then able to install reinstall StarOffice just
fine.  Thinking I had gotten off fairly easily from this blunder, I have since
discoveered that RH glint doesn't run and Hylafax is dead.

Now I get this instead

	In my simple-minded analysis, I checked to see if
/var/spool/fax/FIFO.ttyS1 still existed, and it did.  That exhausted
my detective capabilities.  Can anyone help?!?!  I'm a newbie, obviously from my
original mistake, so please speak slowly and explicitly!

Thanks in advance!
