I have ported netfax, but I can't get it to work. Everything
compiles, and runs (well, mostly), but FAX's get aborted during send.
I get the same problem with two other FAX sending methods, so I think
there might be a problem with hardware flow control (I'm using
0.99.8). Is this possible?
As for the "port," it seems that the linux headers for stdarg and
vararg don't like each other, so I had to muck around with that.
Also, the copy of the source code I found was simply missing a line
somewhere.
