Re: James Silberbauer, South Africa kernel 2.6.31-19-generic

[James Silberbauer <jamessil@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Marvin,

I've had a look at the faxing.tar.gz archive, but it looks like I'll 
need to spend a lot of time with it via trial and error.
When I have time again I'll pursue this further with the efax list, but 
for now I'm getting back to my work.

Thank you for your help.
James
