Waiting for modem to come ready

[Alexandre Meissonnier <ameissonnier@dohle.com>]

Hi all,

I'm stuck with my HylaFAX installation on a SCO 5.0.2 machine, using a 
USR Sportster Voice 33.600 modem.

First, I installed the fax server in send-only mode and it worked fine. 
Then, I installed a faxgetty to receive faxes, I can't even send anything anymore.
The faxstat command keeps saying 'Waiting for modem to come ready', and 
resetting the modem doesn't change this. 

Here is an excerpt of my syslog file:

First, the log written at boot time:

Apr  3 11:46:17 idefix2 FaxQueuer[252]: No regular expression for modem class

... plus lots of other FaxGetty lines, all with an OK response.

At this point, faxstat says 'running and idle'.
When I try to send a fax, the following happens:

Apr  3 12:22:20 idefix2 FaxQueuer[252]: SUBMIT JOB 31
Apr  3 12:22:25 idefix2 FaxSend[704]: DELAY 2600 ms

[several retries, with the same result]

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,
