[hylafax-users] Cannot get hylafax to play well with fax/modem

[Praedor Tempus <praedor@yahoo.com>]

Printing/sending to fax a simple text file from kwrite I get a nice printing 
hang and this is the logfile output from "Print to fax" (recipient and fax 
number edited):

Sending to fax using: /usr/bin/sendfax -h 'hfaxd'  -d 
'<recipient>'@'<faxnumber>' -x '' -c 'Test fax' -f 'praedor' 
/home/praedor/.kde/tmp-lapdog.ravenhome.net/kdeprint_xRlH70b

/bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/bash: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

This is the associated /var/log/messages output (fax number edited out):

I then ran probemodem and faxsetup again and all went well (seemingly).  I 
restarted hylafax and then tried to "Send to fax" via Kdeprintfax (cups).  
Nope.  Nothing.  This time, my log file from Kdeprintfax contained nothing to 
indicate a problem, almost as if all went well, but there was never a 
dialtone, never a dialing...nothing.  In /var/log/messages is:

Aug 13 11:35:41 lapdog FaxQueuer[17875]: SUBMIT JOB 10

Nothing there to indicate a problem.  Job was queued but 1) I cannot figure 
out how to get a list of queued fax jobs, and 2) I cannot figure out why 
nothing is happening.  

With efax I get much further.  I can run "fax send <fax number> <filename>" 
from the CLI and it will pickup, get a dialtone, dial, connect/negotiate, and 
start to send (though ultimately failing because of some improper modem 
response or fax response on the receiving end).  With hylafax I cannot even 
get a dialtone.

How do I get this working?  Where do I begin?
