Agreed. You might send a note to Sebastiano Vigna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
about it. I've been working on my own version of the backend script, and I've
changed the first part to:
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
for i in $FAXPRG $FAXGUI $FAXSTAT ; do
if [ ! -x "$i" ]; then
echo "ERROR: can't find Hylafax program $i" 1>&2
exit 0;
fi
done
echo "direct hylafax:/local \"Unknown\" \"Local HylaFAX server\""
exit 0
fi
so the error gets logged, at least.

It should convert the text file. I'll have to try it. I seem to remember
this problem, but I can't remember if I resolved it or left it on the 'todo'
list. There have been problems in the Hylafax 'textfmt' function, but I'm
not sure if the hylafax.ppd says to convert to Postscript before passing the
file onto Hylafax.
