RE: flexfax: help!! /etc/hylafax/hosts

[Gerry Doris <gdoris@home.com>]

Double check that your /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts.hfaxd file contains your user
information.  I ran into a similar problem on an upgrade where the file used to
be called just hosts but is now called hosts.hfaxd.

I just copied over the old hosts file to a new hosts.hfaxd and everything
worked again.
