No one answered him. Today I encountered the same problem, and wrote the author of efax, Ed Casas. He explained that this problem is caused by a bug in version 0.8 of efax, which only strikes when run on a libc6 system. Upgrading to efax 0.9 from potato (which luckily doesn't depend on the newer libraries) fixed the problem instantly. I hope Johann is still reading and finds this helpful. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
