flexfax: FIFO problmes

[neil@corpex.com (Neil)]

Hi,
	Hylafax V4.0p11
	FreeBSD
	4 * USR Modems (2ext 2int)

I have installed (as suggested) the version 4 software, and am even furhter back than before.
Having compiled, installed and run faxsetup. I have run faxaddmodedm 
for each modem, all of which are correctly identified (2 ext USR Flash 56K
and 2Int Sportster V34+ FAX ) and have followed the default settings. 

Rerunning faxsetup, kills the currently running hfaxd and once prompted restarts, running
faxmodem for each of the 4 modemds.

faxstat only shows cuaa0 and cuaa1 (the other 2 modems are cuaa3 and cuaa4 and
all modems can be contacted by cu and by faxaddmodem.) and perpetually says
"Waiting for modem to come ready"

running faxmodem with or without the server running or useing faxstate on
any modem returns FIFO.cuaa[0-3]: open: Device not configured

Huh?

I can't seem to get hfaxd to recognise the existence of the modems, or that they are there and readyt.

resetting the modems also never helps.


runnign sendfax -d <NUMBER> <FILE> yields a request ID and and claims to have queued it.

I have also completely removed the /var/spool/fax directory
and installed again from scracth killing the faxq processes before running faxsetup

The faxsetup process runs clearly then runs the subprocess for faxaddmodem
which when checking the speed claims the modem has hung, but 
correctly identifies the modem a few lines later. It sets the speed to 
38400 though, and later sets the DTE-DCE to 19200 ???


Ignoring the other modems for this installation, the ffaxsetup finally runs 
faxmodem for cuaa0 and exits, but faxstat says only that the server is running.


Futher faxmodem cuaa0 commands yield no error or STDOUT response, and faxstat still returns
only that the server is running.

re-running faxsetup will kill the server, restart it and runs faxmodem for
cuaa0 but the result is still only that the server is running???

Once a fax job is send to the queue using sendfax -d <NUMBER> <FILE>
the server initializes the modem, but then remains there Waiting for modem to come ready.

Any ideas would be most welcome...


P.S. How do you actually view the state of the queue now with V4 under 
V3 faxq showed the queue status, now it just fires another server..
