Will 1.1.22 be out any time soon? (and does 'call cnd-program immediately' mean 
after the 2nd ring?) I have a feeling that if I put rings 2 w/the delay in cnd-
program it would still force mgetty to try and answer as soon as the delay was 
over (if cnd-program exit 0).  If I had manually answered the phone it would 
interrupt the call.

If 1.1.22 is not coming soon I'll try and modify it myself somehow as this is a 
pretty important detail for my future phone setup.


BTW, how do I turn off automatic sending of mail when a new fax has arrived?
