Re: [PLUG] dial-in / dial-out

["W. Chris Shank" <chris.shank@acetechgroup.com>]

i'm using mgetty intitialized via inittab. it doesn't appear to be a 
constantly running daemon, only started when inittab detects the call 9does 
this sound right?). i'm looking into sendfax, but it seems to be a very 
simple fax program and i need to be able to share the fax modem via samba. 

has anyone used hylaFax? can tis coexist with mgetty? should I use something 
besides mgetty for dialup?


thanks
