flexfax: Re: Faxgetty interfering with ppp

[George Zeigler <genz1968@mtu-net.ru>]

Hello,
	as regular user, I can't dial out with ppp because faxgetty interferes.
 I have to uncomment my /etc/inittab line, and reboot to connect.  I put my
/var/log/messages to show what happens when I try to connect to the net.

	Seems like 100% of the time to me.  As root, I can connect.  root seems
to overpower faxgetty.  as a regular user, forget it.  I can't get past
faxgetty.  This makes me wonder if it is a permissions problem.  In any case,
HylaFax should not be messing around with my ppp.  I mean, like who wrote this
program anyhow?

	In ordinary human language, this means what?  I use kppp from the KDE
environment.

Thanks
George
