Re: [hylafax-users] Bad number

This is an opportunity to ask my [slightly] off topic question. I'm running
RedHat 6.2 at run-level 3 [no X-Windows] and not interested in upgrading to
RH 7 due to its problems, but have been thinking about either Mandrake 7.2
or FreeBSD for my HylaFax server. I have used Mandrake 7.0 and 7.1 before on
some projects, and I like it. One thing I find a essential in the modern
unix/linux software world is the ability to use the rpm technology, first
developed by Redhat but now fairly common, and Mandrake does rpms. I
certainly don't mind using gzip -d, tar, and make/make install, etc, and as
a matter of fact this is how my Comtrol RocketModem driver is packaged, but
there is so much software is available via rpm that I don't want to pick an
os that can't do rpms. Lee Howard frequently recommends to install HylaFax
from the rpm, which I have done with pretty good success. I was out at
FreeBSD's website a few days ago, and got the idea that it can do rpms too.
Sounds like you picked the tarball and not CVS, which I can understand. So
my question is have you tried to install the rpm, and if so why not?

Also does hylafax show up during boot-up, as it does for me? And after boot,
what does ps -ax show?

Thanks for entertaining my dumb questions,
clay
