flexfax: Hylafax and Creatix LC144VF

[Martin Klingler <mkli@netway.at>]

Hi once more to the mailing list,

I am using Hylafax V4.Opl1 and WHFC 0.8.1 on the S.u.S.E. Linux Distribution 5.0 with Creatix LC 144VF.
After a lot of troubles in the beginning I just made it and the system is doing well. Thanks a lot to you on the list.

The CONFIG.MODEM looks like this
CountryCode:		nn
AreaCode:		nnn
FAXNumber:		nnnnnn
LongDistancePrefix:	0
InternationalPrefix:	00
DialStringRules:	etc/dialrules.europe
ServerTracing:		1
SessionTracing:		11
RecvFileMode:		0644
LogFileMode:		0644
DeviceMode:		0600
RingsBeforeAnswer:	1
SpeakerVolume:		off
GettyArgs:		"-h %l dx_%s"
LocalIdentifier:	"NothingSetup"
TagLineFont:		etc/lutRS18.pcf
TagLineFormat:		"From %%l|%c|Page %%p of %%t"
MaxRecvPages:		25
#
#
# Modem-related stuff: should reflect modem command interface
# and hardware connection/cabling (e.g. flow control).
#
ModemType:		Class2		# use class 2 interface
ModemRate:		38400
ModemAnswerFaxBeginCmd: "<19200>"
ModemFlowControl:	rtscts		# default
ModemWaitForConnect:	yes		# wait for CONNECT on answer
#
#ModemResetCmds:	AT&F2		# what you want for a Supra
ModemNoFlowCmd:		AT&K		# disable flow control cmd
ModemHardFlowCmd:	AT&K3		# hardware flow control cmd
ModemSoftFlowCmd:	AT&K4		# software flow control cmd
ModemSetupDTRCmd:	AT&D2		# DTR off causes modem to reset
ModemSetupDCDCmd:	AT&C1		# DCD follows carrier
ModemSetupAACmd:	AT+FCLASS=0;+FAA=1 # enable in class 0
#
ModemSendFillOrder:	LSB2MSB		# as expected
ModemRecvFillOrder:	MSB2LSB		# opposite of what makes sense
Class2RecvDataTrigger:	"\022"		# a la 2388-B

The file was created automatically from faxaddmodem. Only the line ModemAnswerFaxBeginCmd: "<19200>" was added by hand. This was an important hint from the list.

I had further problems with the printer driver under Win95. It was not possible to fax with HP Laser Jet 4/4M Plus PS but with the Apple Laser Writer now everything is OK.

Many thanks and good luck

Martin
