Fax from Windows

[Gary Wilson]

Did you set up mgetty.config, sendfax.config, and faxrunq.config?  Is the
faxrunqd daemon running?

Thanks

I have it working upto the point it sends the fax to faxspool from
mgetty+sendfax.

Then gs is blowing up(either because the spool is not workng
or it's not there, or I don't know) .  I'm using the hp laserjet 4 drivers.


It works with tiger.ps of gs fame on the command line of the server.  I
have created a fax.deny file.  Any clues?  Problem with print drivers maybe?
