Re: [hylafax-users] receive faxes



Yes, I went throught that whole checklist and it still doesn't pickup.
I am able to talk to the modem on /dev/ttyS1 though.
I restarted all services and dialed into the computer (the phone number that 
is connected to the computer) and it just rang.
In the /etc/inittab I changed my entry to: 
mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
But this did not make a difference.
Is there anything else I need to do?
Has anyone gotten this to work on a debian system?
Thanks,
Matt
