Dear All,

I'm trying to use efax to receive faxes. I've read the man page and it seems 
reasonably clear enough.

However, I'm only able to get efax to work if I'm root. As an individual user, this is 
what I get when I try to put the fax modem into receive mode:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ efax -d /dev/ttyS0
  efax: Fri Nov  7 07:46:18 2003 efax v 0.9a-001114 Copyright 1999 Ed Casas
  efax: Fri Nov  7 07:46:18 2003 efax v 0.9a-001114 Copyright 1999 Ed Casas
  efax: 46:18 compiled Apr  7 2003 16:44:31
  efax: 46:18 Error: can't open serial port /dev/ttyS0: Permission denied
  efax: 46:18 done, returning 2 (unrecoverable error)

I added user "bob" to the group "fax" but that doesn't solve the problem. Hoping that 
someone has a suggestion.

regards,
Robert
