Hello Bob,

I posted a message yesterday which doesn't show up in the correct thread on my system. In case you missed it look for a message with the same From and Subject lines.

Short extract:
I suspect you did not call the sendfax program from the HylaFAX package but a different sendfax which belongs to mgetty+sendfax.
Maybe HylaFAX will work if you fix your PATH variable or remove mgetty+sendfax.

Got it, thanks. I had installed mgetty+sendfax and never removed it. I now have:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 178748 Nov 12 13:02 /usr/local/bin/sendfax
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 59060 Jul 16 01:52 /usr/local/sbin/sendfax


echo $PATH does show /usr/local/sbin before /usr/local/bin.

One objective of installing HylaFAX was to take advantage of the voice mail capabilities of the modem. I first read about vgetty while researching mgetty+sendfax and that is why I never removed mgetty+sendfax. At this stage I'd like to make HylaFAX work so I'll probably remove mgetty+sendfax and revisit the voice mail function at a later date.

If you, or anyone else, have some suggestions, please feel free to pass them along.

Thanx,
Bob Perry
