Hi Gert,

The changes are surely of the quick'n'dirty kind. Of course you need to
give the number in quotes to faxspool. 

The JOB-File for 'faxspool "**" fax.ps"' looks like this:
----------
phone **
user james
input /home/james/fax.ps
pages  f1.g3
---------

I'll try to remember that next time.


Please don't send me courtesy-copies of your postings/mailings as
I read the newsgroup regulary. Thank you.

bye,

Timo
