[hylafax-users] HylaFAX getting stuck on bad transmissions



Hello,

I'm trying to troubleshoot some problems with an existing HylaFAX setup
that I'm not terribly familiar with (nor am I a HylaFAX whiz, either).
The website is being cantakerous so apologies beforehand if this is a FAQ
or has been answered before.

First, the system is Linux, kernel 2.2.14, a Slackware variant, and
HylaFAX is version 4.0pl2.  There is a single modem attached to the
system.

Everything is fine until a number of error conditions arise.  One problem
was that a phone number was invalid and the prerecorded error message
began playing before I had finished dialing the number manually.  I don't
know what logfile this session was stored in, however, so I can't provide
any specific tracing information.

The problem that occured this last time HylaFAX hung is this:

Apr 12 11:53:24.05: [26173]: --> [2:OK]
Apr 12 11:53:24.07: [26173]: SESSION END

Note the time change before the abort.  This is very unacceptable so I
need to do something quickly.  An interesting thing was that after I
faxrm'd the job, it didn't leave, and no others were being spooled.  I
found that 'faxq' was no longer running, so I typed 'faxq' and things
begin going smoothly again.

So, my questions:

Is this a hardware error, or software error (since faxq died)?  How would
I be able to tell?  My config.ttyS0 is for a 'Rockwell RC288DPi-based
Class 2 modem' but I have no way to verify this is accurate.  I assume it
is, however.

Is there a workaround?  IE, how can I say 'abort any job not completed
within 10 minutes of starting'.  Everything should be using the system
default values.

Here are some trace snippets from other aborted commands:

These errors are show up more often as the service is getting more widely
used, and thus making things worse for more people more often.  :(

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
