Would have liked to be witness of that interview I had some "funny" or sad things and some awkward stories from coworkers:
- My interview lasted about 1 hour and about short after it had begun, the big boss had incomming a private phone call with some old friend that lasted about 45 minutes.
The small boss was a bit embarassed but we had a good interview talk meanwhile, sitting next to the big boss still talking in a loud voice as if he was alone... We talked with a low voice since we didn't want to disturb him and got along. - I had an interview in some company and after getting the information, that there is no Unix but only Windows and some telephone system I would have to deal with, I said that I am sorry and not interessted.
They had my documents still there and I said they don't have to send them back to me - I can just take them with me. They agreed, handed them over and on the back was a yellow post-it with a short note "possibly too expensive". I couldn't hide my grin and handed it back to them, saying "Excuse me but this seems to belong to you". I know, looks a bit arrogant but I wasn't able to resist
- In another company, I sat there with the big boss and he was telling me this and that and told me, that in the probation time, I will have to make some of those (MCP?) single MS tests to get certifications in the company to proove my worth etc. I told him that I am MCSE already (the certificates were in the documents they got from me of course) and he... was a bit baffled and moved on to another topic
From coworkers (maybe rumours but I think they aren't
):- One coworker wasn't able to speak German. He was barely able to answer the big boss with "ja" (yes) and "nein" (no). He was accepted and afterwards his coworkers noticed he wasn't able to speak German heh.
- A coworker was accepted and on his first day, nobody knew that he was there. Nobody knew who accepted him for the job. He came to our secretary and she started asking around, where he was assigned to and nobody knew it. He was parked in our team for some time. It took several hours until it was clear, where he was assigned to and who accepted him.

faxanswer
FAXANSWER(8) System Manager's Manual FAXANSWER(8) NAME
faxanswer - tell a HylaFAX server to answer the telephone SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxanswer [ -q queue-dir ] [ -h how ] modem DESCRIPTION
faxanswer sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to answer the telephone. This is useful, for exam- ple, when a modem is used on a shared phone line and the server is configured to not normally answer the phone. The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the full name of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''. OPTIONS
-q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax. -h Specify exactly how the phone should be answered. By default, the server process is instructed to answer the phone and accept any kind of call (voice, data, fax). Discrimination of the type of call is dependent on a modem's adaptive-answer support. The -h option can be used to force the server to answer the phone for particular type of call: one of fax, data, voice, any, extern (to force faxgetty to invoke an external application to to handle the call), or dialX (where X is a dialstring to dial before initiating a fax reception). If using dialX, the specified dialstring will likely need to end with a semicolon (``;''). FILES
/var/spool/hylafax default spooling area /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO fifo for contacting faxq Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area. SEE ALSO
