The new EFAX-0.7a-6 RPM installed by RH 4.0 can not co-exist with cu
(or any other terminal program) because of a bug in its tty open
handling.
This shows up as an immediate hangup if you use cu on a line being
shared by efax.
I created a efax-0.7a-7 that's exactly the same as efax-0.7a-6 but
with the following patch (I got this from the author of efax). The
binary and source RPM's are uploaded to ftp.rehat.com/pub/incoming.
