flexfax: Hylafax problem on a TI56/RAQ3/linux: Waiting for modem to come free

[Jesper Broendum <jb@onliners.dk>]

Dear gurus,

Please help me with setting up a faxserver on a RAQ3 server. Here's what
I have tried:


1) Setting it up with faxstup:

[root@localhost sbin]# /usr/local/sbin/faxsetup -server
Output:
Setup program for HylaFAX (tm) v4.0pl2.
Created for i586-unknown-linux on Tue May  9 04:27:21 CEST 2000.
 ...
You do not appear to be using faxgetty to notify the HylaFAX scheduler
about new modems and/or their status.  This means that you must use the
faxmodem program to inform the new faxq process about the modems you
want to have scheduled by HylaFAX.  Beware that if you have modems that
require non-default capabilities specified to faxmodem then you should
read faxmodem(1M) manual page and do this work yourself (since this
script is not intelligent enough to automatically figure out the modem
capabilities and supply the appropriate arguments).

capabilities and supply the appropriate arguments).
Should I run faxmodem for each configured modem [yes]?
/usr/local/sbin/faxmodem ttyS1
Done verifying system setup.


2) Checking what is running:

[root@localhost sbin]# ps -aef | grep fax
Output:
uucp      6733     1  0 12:09 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxq


3) Not good, I guess. So lets start faxgetty and rerun faxsetup

[root@localhost sbin]# /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1 &
[root@localhost sbin]# /usr/local/sbin/faxsetup -server
[root@localhost sbin]# ps -aef | grep fax
Output:
uucp      6800  3577  0 12:11 pts/0    00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty
ttyS1
uucp      6934     1  0 12:13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxq


4) Still no hfaxd, so lets try manually

[root@localhost sbin]# /usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i hylafax -o 4557 -s 444

[root@localhost sbin]# ps -aef | grep fax
Output:
uucp      6800  3577  0 12:11 pts/0    00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty
ttyS1
uucp      6934     1  0 12:13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxq
uucp      7010     1  0 12:15 ?        00:00:00 ./hfaxd -i hylafax -o
4557 -s 44


5) So, I'd think all is set to go, but I cant send any faxes:

[root@localhost sbin]#sendfax -d 033732810 ~/faxtest.txt
Output:
request id is 20 (group id 20) for host localhost (1 file)

[root@localhost sbin]# faxstat -s
Output:
HylaFAX scheduler on localhost: Running
Modem ttyS1 (+1.999.555.1212): Waiting for modem to come free

Any help is much approciated. I have searched the doc and the maillists,
but am still left with no more clues.

TIA.
