[hylafax-users] Fax problems

[Sebastian Willing <s.willing@mops.net>]

Hello!

At first:
HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1beta2
GhostScript 5.10
Linux version 2.3.9 (root@mara) (gcc version 2.7.2.1) #22 Wed Jul 19 16:14:36 CEST 2000
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 (ZyXEL U-1496E ext.)
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 (ZyXEL U-1496E ext.)
/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 11 (ELSA Microlink 33.6TQV ext.)

I'm getting two different error messages (for some month) on every of the
three modems. It doesn't matter, if I just use one, directly specify a modem
or anything. The faxes are generated by a self-made script using...
/usr/bin/sendfax -n -E -P 191 -k 'now + 1 day' -f \'$RName <$Mail>\' -B 9600 -I
5min -l -s a4 -d $FaxNr $DocList 2>&1
(while $RName is the Sender's name, $Mail is the Senders e-mail-address, $FaxNr
is the fax-# (which appears to be correct using faxstat -ais) and $DocList is
a space-divided list of documents, Hylafax should send.
Everything works fine, except that some (nearly all) recipients are getting the
first page 3-30 times (no matter how may pages are waiting to sent). In most
cases, I'm getting an "Unspecified transmit phase B error" or the following.
All destinations claim to receive faxes okay on the same day as I try.

Your facsimile job to 03414264025 failed because:
    Unable to set session parameters; too many attempts to send

---- Documents submitted for transmission ----

The following documents were submitted for transmission and are
available on the server for reuse until they are automatically
purged when this job is removed.  Documents may also be manually
removed using the faxrm command; consult faxrm(1) for information.
								  
Filename                 Size Type
docq/doc22504.ps         6702 PostScript
docq/doc22505.ps         9977 PostScript

Doc #22504 is a self-made cover page (I can't use Hylafax's cover system for
some reasons, but that's not the problem). Both documents are textfiles which
were converted to postscript using the sendfax tool, but it doesn't care which
type of and/or how many documents I sent, I'm getting the errors all the time.

Pls tell me, if you need any further information.

Yours,
S.Willing
