[hylafax-users] hylafax - iaxmodem

[Dennis Eberstein]

Hello,

I wanted to setup an Hylafax with an IAXmodem to virtualize my FAX
within my Asterisk
Server.
I installed Hylafax and the iaxmodem. Everything went well, I think,
until I tested it the first time.
faxstat -s is saying Initialising server ever, a Fax in queue or not.
The Hylafax is never using the Modem as if it doesn't know there is one.
I have collected some logs for you, perhaps, you see the problem, i don't
at this time. Please don't be shy if you need anything else I can hand over.

regards
Dennis Eberstein

Yes I am. The Line in the inittab is this one

mo00:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyIAX0

But thats only for receiving faxs, isn't it? When I would be able to
send fax, I think
receiving faxes should work as well.

So you'll need to set ServerTracing to 0xFFF in the modem config file
and then look at the syslog (usually /var/log/messages).

Well, something needs to notify faxq that the modem is there and
available for use. This is either faxgetty or faxmodem, and most people
expect the behavior from faxgetty.
