Hi, about the debate between ISO coutnry code GB and cc TLD, I contacted The

Good day,
Since version 4.1, upstream HylaFAX changed its default storage
directory from /var/spool/fax to /var/spool/hylafax. However, as that
location is hard-coded in an awful lot of places, the current Debian
version still installs into /var/spool/fax. Apparently this creates a
slight conflict
