you are correct: efax does not create any devices nor does mgetty-fax. those devices are standard. but it does uses a serial device, say /dev/ttyS1 which Could be referred to via symbolic link from /dev/fax. as is, you can use one of your serial devices, ttyS0 - S3, i.e. : crw------- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Sep 29 17:09 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Sep 29 16:21 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Apr 30 18:25 /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Apr 30 18:25 /dev/ttyS3 ttyS0 is the serial device i run mgetty-fax on to answer and process incoming faxes. so for ease of use, you might make a symbolic link from /dev/fax to /dev/ttySX since /dev/fax is the defualt device that efax looks for. m* -- "The Shining One" -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
