Topic: Dial In...

[Jason]

Sorry to post this here as well but no-one was helping on the other page...

I am still unable to find the mgetty+sendfax..rpm.
The server is now displaying errors about
INIT: cannot execute :/sbin/mgetty"
INIT: Id "S1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes...

Please help me.............

I believe the mgetty+sendfax you want is here.  I don't know what the distinction between "-" and "+" is but it seemed to work ok.

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/redhat-6.1/i386/RedHat/RPMS/mgetty-sendfax-1.1.21-2.i386.rpm

I found it on the e-smith web portal

Thanks I have the files and I will try to get it running...

I try to install mgetty-sendfax and get
failed dependencies mgetty = 1.1.21
 I try to install mgetty-1.1.21-2
 and receive
    module dependencies libgr-progs
I try to install lib-progs and get a huge list of modules which I cant find....

My head hurts...
