> Is anyone using sendfax (of sendfax+mgetty) with netbsd 0.8?  I can't 

I'm running NetBSD-current(Nov20) and I am using mgetty+sendfax-0.16

sendfax built and worked ok almost out of the box.
I seem to have a problem sending faxes to a friends machine - it gets
a handshake error after the 1st page, but a fax to another fax modem
worked ok.

mgetty needed some major work.  I had to replace use of VTIME etc with
calls to alarm() and replace calls to signal() with my own Signal()
which calls sigaction() with no restart flag.  Apart from that I added
a modemcap file so that I could use the one mgetty binary with two
rather different modems.

Normal uugetty stuff now works fine, but I've yet to succeed in
receiving a fax :-)

Be sure to set the chat_delay (or whatever) if need be.  One of my
modems worked ok with the default 50ms, but the other was a total loss
until I upped the delay to 100ms.  This was a modem problem not com
driver.
