Hi, Actually, I downloaded the source tarball from hylafax.org and built/installed that (no particular reason - at the time, the site was easier to get to than the CDs).
Attached is the script I use to send all incoming faxes directly to the
printer - I assume that's what you meant. Install it in
/var/spool/hylafax/bin instead of the original faxrcvd (which e-mails the
faxes as attachments).
enjoy,
Rony

Which parts of it did you install? There are 4 files on the CD:
hylafax-4.1-5mdk.i586.rpm
hylafax-client-4.1-5mdk.i586.rpm
hylafax-server-4.1-5mdk.i586.rpm
libhylafax4-4.1-5mdk.i586.rpm
Do you need all of them?
Also, were you able to set it up as a network "printer"?
Thanks!
