Re: Sending faxes



It should work without it. The error message you state below: is that
literally what you get? If so then there is something wrong with your
config. You have configured the modem to be on "device", rather than say
"ttyS1". When you ran faxaddmodem what did you answer to the first
question: "Serial port that modem is connected to []?". You should have
put in the device name.

It is a good idea to run faxgetty as well for a send-only modem, since
it performs various resets that are not done otherwise. If so make sure
you set RingsBeforeAnswer to 0 in the modem config file (that will stop
it actually answering an incoming call).
