Was this with Lucid perchance? Lucid supports serial ports OK? Can the
modem/efax-gtk combo recognize incoming faxes and answer only those,
and not regular calls?

I would appreciate a copy. I, too, need to use fax - in fact, I needed
to send one earlier today. My hardware fax is getting impossibly
flaky, and I'm considering a fax app for Lucid to replace it.

If you think it would excessively inflame the non-fax-users on the
list, please send it privately. :-)

Thanks,
