Hello,

Maybe this isn't the right and best place to talk abou avantfax, but they're
related.
I simply can't understand, besides AvantFax being a Web interface and
archive for faxes, the main roles of both. I mean, who is really responsible
to get the faxes and put them in tiff in the recvq? Hylafax only process the
received and sent faxes and avantfax uses hylafax's received tiff files to
display it to the user in pdf and with archived and associated with a
phonebook?

Any links, articles or other things for me to understand this step by step?

Thanks,
Teixeira

For reason unknown
UseJobTagline: no
doesn't work for me.

If using sendfax...

sendfax -F "" -d number file

That said, in the modem config files you could just put TagLineFormat: ""

UseJobTagline tells faxsend whether or not to use any tagline format
specified by the client (i.e. the sendfax -F option). It doesn't enable
or disable the usage of a tagline.

Be wary that in all likelihood telecommunications law in your area
requires you to have a tagline there identifying the sender.

That's probably because of a document preparation error dealing with the
job in question. Look at the associated file in
/var/spool/hylafax/doneq and let's see what that error message says in
its entirety.

You'll probably need to set ServerTracing to 0xFFF in
/var/spool/hylafax/etc/config and then resubmit the job. Then in your
syslog (/var/log/messages ?) you'll see the conversion command being
given (bin/ps2fax). You'll want to run that same command with the same
options by hand from the /var/spool/hylafax directory to see what the
matter is, and how to fix it. Most likely something is corrupt with the
file you submitted.

Thanks,

Lee.

HylaFAX.

I don't use AvantFax, but I would guess that this is accurate, yes.

for receiving, avantfax has a replacement for hylafax's faxnotify and
other scripts to do some extra processing, such as the phonebook
matching and database metadata recording and pdf creation.

well, install avantfax, the instructions tell you what to replace and
since everything replaced are bash scripts you are free to read them
to see what the original does vs the avantfax replacement.

All my faxes are clearly identified within the marketing material-
- The registered name of my company
- Contact phone number (which is answered by a real person ie: usually myself)
- Contact fax number
- Street address
- Contact email address

which is more then what can be said for 99% of the other users of the 'bulk'
fax capability of Hylafax.

My removal of the tag line is intended to save space on the page, so I can fit
the entire offer, order form and T&C in to 1-A4 page.

might want to consider scaling down your page instead since cheap fax
machines may print a blank line up there or CID info anyway

HylaFAX is responsible for placing the faxes in the recvq directory
and for launching the "FaxrcvdCmd" script. In this case, AvantFAX's
faxrcvd.php.

Likewise, HylaFAX takes care of processing outbound faxes, and then
launches the "NotifyCmd" script -- AvantFAX's notify.php.

These scripts create the thumbnail and fax images for viewing online,
and plug into the AvantFAX MySQL database to store various information
about the fax job (ie: sender, fax number, #pages, date, etc) and the
path to the PDF and TIFF files.

Once the faxes have been added to the AvantFAX database, they can be
safely removed from HylaFAX's recvq directory (typically with faxcron).
