Walter,
After looking at the first png file (By the way, your doing great!), 
I've noticed that you have a fax user that has processes running right 
after a reboot.  This is a little puzzling to me unless your machine has 
remembered between reboots the faxes that hadn't been sent, which can 
happen since they may be queued in the /var/spool directory.  To help us 
more and since you are getting the hang of sending us output, I am going 
to list some more commands to send us.  All this should be done in a 
shell, preferably as root since that seems to allow everything to work 
for you.

Do this at the command line after a reboot and before a fax is sent.

ps auxww > /tmp/nofax.reboot.ps.txt
ls -l /etc/init.d/rc5.d > /tmp/startuplink.init5.txt
    ^
(Note this is a number one not the letter l)

Then send one fax and do this commands:

ps auxww > /tmp/onefax.ps.txt

Then send one more fax and repeat:

ps auxww > /tmp/twofax.ps.txt


Then attach the text output you've just generated to an email back to 
ALE.  I'll take a look.  The images you sent were fine except the screen 
and font size don't show the whole output.  This way we will get the 
everything the ps command can tell us.

ALE'rs, I don't have a full featured SuSE 8.2 installed right now to 
look at the hylafax and gs commands as setup for faxing under SuSE.  
Does anyone have both installed and would be willing to check out the 
normal chain of file flow thru the programs and /var/spool directories?  
I'd like to be able to get Walter to list for us the right spool 
directory.  Thanks,
Dow
