hi i am trying to get the fax sever to work and am facing a few
problems


firstly when tring to send a text file the postscript converter stops 
because it can not find the font:

bash# sendfax -d 01245287057 /etc/hosts
/usr/contrib/lib/flexfax/textfmt: Unknown font "Courier-Bold".
Usage: /usr/contrib/lib/flexfax/textfmt [-1] [-2] [-B] [-c] [-D] [-f 
fontname] [-m N] [-o #] [-p #] [-r] [-U] [-Ml=#,r=#,t=#,b=#] 
[-V #] files... >out.ps
Default options: -f Courier -1 -p 11bp -o 0
sendfax: Error converting data; command was 
"/usr/contrib/lib/flexfax/textfmt -f Courier-Bold -p 11 -s default 
>/tmp/faxsnd000206 
</etc/hosts"
bash# 


and secondaly the modem doesn't become 'ready':

Server on localhost:tty01 for +1.415.965.7824: Waiting for modem to
come 
ready.

Job  Modem Destination     Time-To-Send     Sender         Status
1    any   01245287057                      System Adminis Queued and 
waiting
bash#

i am using a hayes 2.88 modem with an onboard serial port


any ideas?
