Yes, this entry is there. Does it have a password? I reset the password
to "password"

Yes, I have this on my /etc/inittab file

I have also added these lines.

Now all the three programs are loaded and ready.

Thank you. The fax was successfully send to my fax machine.

Indeed, English were everywhere.... I wish I could understand the german,
is it?
I wanted to learn Spanish and French language but always can't find
time.

Anyway, I have some other problems.
These is the log when I tried to send from my fax machine to the
hylafax.

ERROR: terminated abnormally: Missing
EOL after 5 seconds
How do I solve this problem?

Few more questions on whfc.
1) In the host entry, do I put in the Linux host name?
2) When I ran whfc, it prompted me a password. Whatever password I keyed
in were not valid. I tried the password for root, fax, hkmun(my
username), etc. All failed.

The most important part after the whfc works is to be able for me to send
and recv fax from my Win9x PC. Hope more guru who have this solution will
help me out.

Thanks to Phil for taking me so far and hope to have your continuos
support.

Kok Mun
