Thanks Heiko,
I will try that in the next week or two when I am visiting that
client site. That brings me to another issue...
When we used SCO we utilized PPP dial-up connections, but
we are having a great deal of trouble on SuSE...
We have it sort-of working on some of our clients but not all...
I would like to know if anyone has some documentation on
setting up a PPP dial-in connection and is willing to share.
We also need to be able to send faxes (not receive them) and,
again we have it sort-of working... We use hylafax for the faxing.
So, once we do a standard install of SuSE Ent. we then install
- ghostscript
- tiff
- mgetty+sendfax
- hylafax
- not sure if we install ppp?
As this has been done in the past by someone else, I am left
to determine what is not right...
I did find something one day that said I needed to download and
install the ltmodem but could not find it anywhere.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew.
