[hylafax-users] faxgetty interferes with Internet dial-up



Hi!

I have HylaFAX v4.1beta2 on Linux-Mandrake 7.1 with
the following details:
* hylafax-4.1beta2-7rh6
* libtiff-3.5.5-2mdk
* ghostscript-5.50-9mdk
* ghostscript-fonts-5.50-5mdk
* mawk-1.3.3-1mdk
* libgr-devel-2.0.13-14mdk
* Modem: US Robotics 56K Fax Internal

I am a running a dial-up workstation to be used for
both sending and receiving faxes. Because my only
modem shares my only phone line here at home, I would
want to receive the faxes manually. I set out to do
this by using faxgetty, with the auto answer rings set
to zero.

I found that I have to disable faxgetty in order to
use the same modem to connect to the Internet. If I
don't disable faxgetty, my modem is interrupted as it
starts to dial, and then my modem gives up, reporting
"No Carrier".

Do I really have to disable faxgetty or is there
another way?

Thank you,

Roger
