Cannot send fax

["R. Wayne McCorkle" <wmccorkl@psl.nmsu.edu>]

I have installed HylaFAX on a PC running Debian/GNU Linux, 
kernel version 2.0.25

I seem to be able to receive a fax ok, but when I send a
fax the sendee does not get it.


Here is the command I use to send ...

stout# sendfax -n -d 5211449 -R kinkos.ps
request id is 16 (group id 16) for host localhost (1 file)
stout# 

Checking the status ...

stout> faxstat -s
HylaFAX scheduler on localhost: Running
Modem ttyS2 (+1.505.521.3275): Sending job 16

JID  Pri S  Owner Number       Pages Dials     TTS Status
16   127 R   root 5211449       0:1   0:12         


And the daemon.log file ...

Mar 22 15:53:01 localhost init: Re-reading inittab

Now the log file says that the modem cannot be locked, but it sure
seems to be when I look in /var/spool/uucp, I see LCK..ttyS2

Also, I cannot seem to make a data call after getting and making fax
calls. It dials and starts to get the carrier, but then stops.

Here is the syslog from the session ...

Mar 22 16:01:15 localhost pppd[4674]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Mar 22 16:01:15 localhost pppd[4674]: Removed stale lock on ttyS2 (pid 4612)

Mar 22 16:02:01 localhost chat[4675]: Failed
Mar 22 16:02:01 localhost pppd[4674]: Connect script failed

When I change my config.ttyS2 file to include AT+FCLASS=0, I
can make a data call but am no longer able to receive faxes.

Here is daemon.log in that case ...

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.
