flexfax: Help: HylaFAX and US Robotics 56K voice v90 modem

[Dean Tran <deantran@ix.netcom.com>]

I spend few days to set up the Hylafax to work with my computer:

Pentium II 400 MHZ
US Robotic 56K voice (v90) internal modem

I have all ghostscripts/tiff installed per instruction of HylaFAX
homepage.

After I finish 'faxsetup' and 'faxaddmodem' my modem is in unknown
state, that I can't dial in my ISP server. Must reset the modem with ATZ

command.  With faxaddmodem, I choose (and test each AT command)
to my best knowledge.

Still can't send fax out with test fax file (sendfax -n -d xxx.xxx
file_name )

faxstat -s tell me that:

HylaFAX scheduler on localhost is running
Modem ttyS2 ...... : Waiting for modem to come free        <--- what
does this mean???


I follow the troubleshooting section, can ftp to port  4559, etc... Seem
like I don't miss
any thing. Still can't send fax out.

I can't find log file in /var/spool/fax/etc/syslog nor any similar file
to tell me what is going
on. syslogd is running, but I must start hfaxd -i, since this daemon is
not running. I must
miss something.

At one time I could send a portion of my fax out, but it tooks a very
LONG time to
accomplish a partial job. I removed the hylafax package, and
re-installed again.
Now, I am stuck.

Anyone has US Robotics modem above whom is able to make HylaFAX work at
all?

Please help or point me to any WWW site that has some more info about
setting up
HylaFAX
