I'm sure I don't have any firewall between the server and the clients.
I can use ftp as normal. 

Now I find something really strange...
On the fax server, I tried 'sendfax -vv' and then followed with a 
telnet session...
====== START sendfax ========================================
$ sendfax -vv -n -d 12345789 /etc/group
Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
220 xxx.xxx.com server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1) ready.

200 Job 2110 submitted.

============= END sendfax ===================================

OK, the job is created.  Now I follow the commands in the telnet
session...

============= START telnet ==================================
$ telnet localhost 4559
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.

============= END telnet =====================================

What's going on here!? 
Thanks for your attentions. 

Best regards,
