Mine too.

Mine sends and receives faxes just fine.  Uucp just carries right on
doing its thing, DFax seems to stay right out of the way, as advertised.

One thing that frustrated me a little was DFax's insistence on living
in /LocalApps.  I'm a little shy on disk space, so I keep /LocalApps
as a link to an optical disk.  No big deal, I guess - I just rearranged
the links a bit - after some grumbling.

I had trouble recieving data calls - just garbage after connect - but
Bruce Gingery of TotSysSoft responded immediately (as usual) to my email,
pointing out a typo in his addition to my gettytab.  Everything works
just fine now.

   According to NeXT's docs, mailing faxes to a user has been removed from
NS 3.0.  I spent about 2 hours last night trying to get the system to send
me notifying mail when a fax arrives, to no avail.  If anyone knows how to
set this up under 3.0, I'd be eternally grateful ...
