[hylafax-users] xtreme newbie waiting for modem to come free

[Bill Dossett <postmaster@bill.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm very slowly trying to get to grips with hylafax.
I am running hylafax binary RedHat distribution

hylafax-4.1beta2-2rh7

I am using WHFC to for a windows client to
send and receive faxes.  I am using RedHat 7
on the server.  I have been able to recievce a fax
ok.   I have faxgetty running.  I have just tried
to send a fax and the WHFC software says

Modem ttyS0 waiting for modem to come free

My log files on the server say:

creation semantics.

due to my newbieness, I am usure of how all the programs
interact with each other....   does faxgetty take care of
the final sending of the fax?  and the can't lock modem
means it can't send the fax... of is this just an announcement
by faxgetty that something else now has the modem...
presumabley the fax sending program if it isn't faxgetty.
I have checked several times and the fax was not sent,
however I can't seem to find it anywhere else ... in the
sendq or doneq....

I can receive faxes fine...  I'm a bit stuck on what to do
next here...  any info on what to look for would be appreciated...
also is there a non-german version of WHFC?  I've downloaded
what said it was the english setup version, but the menus
and stuff are still in german... also is WHFC the best thing
to use?  I need to support WinNT, W2K and Win9X
platforms.

Thanks

Bill Dossett
