trouble faxing
I just recently added a RH9 partition to my Win98 Dell, so now I have a dual boot system. I am tryinig to learn how to fax. I have a fax modem installed on the machine, and it works under Win98. But I'm having some trouble with faxing from Linux.
I want to fax a one-line document called faxtest.ps. Near as I can tell, efax and efix came as part of my RH9 distro.
So in a terminal window, I type fax send xxx-xxxx faxtest.ps
I get this error message:

What am I doing wrong?
