Re: flexfax: hylafax and mgetty

[Torsten Mueller <archesoft@pc.mdlink.de>]

Sorry,

my OS : Suse 6.0 Linux
Hylafax 4.0 pl2 binary from Suse
Mgetty : 1.1.18 experimental test release

it seems that i have solved (understand) the problem:
mgetty was running (after a try to configure a ppp dialin),
mgetty picked up the line and answered the incoming fax.
The entries in /var/log/messages were:
    Jul 15 14:49:50 slave isdnlog: Jul 15 14:49:49 * Call to tei 127 from ? on
FAX Laden RING (3.1 kHz audio)
    Jul 15 14:49:52 slave isdnlog: Jul 15 14:49:52   Call to tei 90 from ? on
FAX Laden CONNECT (3.1 kHz audio)
    Jul 15 14:50:40 slave isdnlog: Jul 15 14:50:40   Call to tei 90 from ? on
FAX Laden HANGUP ( 0:00:48)  ()
    Jul 15 14:50:41 slave FaxGetty[449]: GETTY: exit status 0
    Jul 15 14:50:41 slave FaxGetty[449]: MODEM set DTR OFF
    Jul 15 14:50:41 slave FaxGetty[449]: DELAY 2600 ms
    Jul 15 14:50:44 slave FaxGetty[449]: MODEM set DTR ON
    Jul 15 14:50:44 slave FaxGetty[449]: MODEM set baud rate: 38400 baud, input
flow RTS/CTS, outputflow RTS/CTS
    Jul 15 14:50:44 slave FaxGetty[449]: MODEM flush i/o
    Jul 15 14:50:44 slave FaxGetty[449]: <-- [15:ATE0V1Q0S0=0H0\r]
...

So it was my mistake ! 2 gettys on the same line

I am sorry !! thank you for your help ,
