Are you using faxgetty or faxmodem.

Faxmodem will not give you the true state of the modem with faxstat program. http://www.hylafax.org/setup.html#Starting

Hi.

 

Although hylafax appears to be working fine on my machine, whenever it is

waiting for some action, faxstat produces the following:

 

Modem ttySHCF0 (+1.718.852.6889): Waiting for modem to come ready

 

Is this all right?  I find it a bit strange.  In fact, there are a few times

during transmission that a fax may fail due to "no dial tone" but after a few

times finally go through.

 

I am currently using a Conexant HCF modem which amazingly appears to be

working even though it is a linmodem.

 

Best regards.
