While you are at the mgetty+sendfax port, could you fix the
installation in that it doesn't do a link of mgetty.config
and sendfax.config anymore. mgetty.config has it's set of keywords
while sendfax.config has it's own. The keyword sets are disjunct in
some sense. So making it one file (hard linked) results at least
in large /tmp/log_mgetty files if not other unwanted side effects occur.
