It means that if you grabbed a binary distribution, it was *probably*
compiled for RedHat, or it may not be fully debugged for the latest SuSE
release.

Most HylaFAXers use whatever they have, but for Linux, that's mostly RedHat
(from traffic here, at least!)

I dunno: did you? Or did you just install binaries?

Looking at the file, it seems to barf whenever it does a "stty 0" on the
modem line. I'm not sure whether this is do the "ondelay" wrapper
or what.

HELLO! Have you got a config file in place? Could you verify the contents
of that and see if they didn't get scrambled when running faxaddmodem?
