Re: [hylafax-users] installing hylafax on SuSE

[Jone Haran <j.haran@hizkia.fr>]

Hi,
You do not need to configure your modem with yast. You just have to 
verify that your modem is detected and recognized. When you run 
faxsetup, you are also going to run faxaddmodem wich configures the 
modem for hylafax.
Best regards
Jone
