  Thatīs all correct. When in just run sendfax it uses the correct modem device
but it just sits there and waits and when I then switch to X it crashes my
X-Server. The X-Server constantly tries to restart itself and all I can do is
restart the computer or go in via telnet and switch to runlevel 2. I had the same
effect before when I was trying to run my video card above itīs specification but
what would that have to do with sendfax??
Anyway, the problem only occurs with faxrunq. I was going through the script but
I wasnīt able to find out where it sets the modem device. As I can see it should
use the defaults from sendfax so this is really strange.
