Hi Dan, Tks for your response. I used efax on RH before. I think it is the front-end (GUI) of mgetty+sendfax. # cd /usr/ports # make search name=mgetty Port: mgetty-1.1.30.12.16_3 Path: /usr/ports/comms/mgetty+sendfax Index: comms ..... # make search name=netpbm Port: netpbm-10.17_1 Path: /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm Index: graphics .... # make search name=pbm2g3 no printout I think I need to install 'mgetty-1.1.30.12.16_3'. Shall I install 'netpbm-10.17_1' as well. Kindly advise. TIA B.R. Stephen
