I've found a few problems in the "fax" front end of this package...
1) The security hole still exists because the "&C0" command is still
present when going into "answer" mode on systems that will accept incoming
data connections. The string "&C1" should be added to the DATAINIT
variable on such systems. I have heard that some modems will not
receive faxes under this setup, however.
2) The 'sed' line that processes the device name into a log-file name
needs a small fix in case (for some oddball reason) the device name has more
than one slash in it. (line 394)
From: eval DEVN=`echo $DEV|sed -e s./._.`
To: eval DEVN=`echo $DEV|sed -e s./._.g`
3) An incorrect directory is specified for "answer" mode. (line 427)
From: if cd $FAXDIR ; then :
To: if cd $FAXINDIR ; then :
That's it for now...
