Well... seems there is a bug in the docs. This was intented to be the way
it's implemented, but it seemingly never was (it's not *that* important,
as you can turn of the things where you'd need it by setting them to "0"
or "-1").

Hmmm. Not so good.

Why don't you use the mail notificiation feature? That way you don't have
to look, mgetty will tell you...

Subject: faxspool on NEXTSTEP
Reply-To: sjohnson@myriad.net

Well, I have come a long way towards getting sendfax setup on NEXTSTEP.
I'm able to manually convert a file to g3 and send it.
I'm trying to get the faxspool setup now but am getting errors when I try to 
run faxspool script. This is what it looks like:

grace:27# ./faxspool 7784717 test.pbm
../faxspool: logname: not found
../faxspool: id: not found
../faxspool: cut: not found
../faxspool: cut: not found
../faxspool: spooling to /usr/spool/fax/outgoing/F000802...: not found
../faxspool: spooling test.pbm...: not found

../faxspool: \nPutting Header lines on top of pages...: not found
../faxspool: g3cat: not found
../faxspool: pbmtext: not found
../faxspool: phone 7784717: not found
../faxspool: user root: not found
../faxspool: input test.pbm: not found
../faxspool: pages : not found
pbm2g3: input file type unknown
mv: /usr/spool/fax/outgoing/F000802/JOB.q: Cannot access: No such file or directory
../faxspool: \nFax queued successfully. Will be sent at next ``faxrunq'' 
run.\n: not found

If anyone has the queue scripts setup to run on NEXTSTEP could you mail them 
to me or point me in the direction to fix the necessary things.

Thanks,
Stephen
