Hi there,

  Thanks for responding.  The FreeBSD version is 6.2 - I will go ahead and
recompile Hylafax 6.0.3 tonight and see what happens. 

  By the way, the reason I wanted to use 6.0.3 is that I just recently started
getting COMREC errors on faxes sent to a few fax machines we send faxes to (we
have about a 100 different fax machines we send faxes to).  The COMREC errors
were occurring on both of our fax modems (USR Sportsters) and they were no
changes in the Hylafax software or configuration.  Nor were there any changes
on the FreeBSD machine. 

  What I eventually did to solve that problem was install Hylafax 4.4.5 and
turn on the hylafax daemon (/usr/local/sbin/hylafax start) - then I installed
6.0.3 over the 4.4.5 install but kept the 4.4.5 daemon running.  Now the COMREC
errors have gone away and faxes to all other fax machines are working.  Of
course, if I then restart the daemon so that the 6.0.3 daemon is running then I
get the 'Can not reach service' error and faxing doesn't work
