[hylafax-users] Using or avoiding FaxGetty

[Shane Wegner <shane@cm.nu>]

Hello list,

I am a new user of HylaFax and thus far have found it to be
quite useful.  However, in all the documentation and faqs I
have read, it seems you have to run faxgetty in order to
take an incoming call.

The problem I am having is that I already have an
application which among other things, does VoiceMail,
callerid recognition and screening.  I need a way for that
program to somehow hand over control to Hylafax.  I looked
at faxanswer which is pretty much exactly what I need but
faxanswer seems to require faxgetty and faxgetty wants to
poll and read the modem even before it gets a faxanswer
request.

The only thing I can think to do is to have my frontend
program actually start faxgetty at the correct time, run
faxanswer and tare it all down once a fax is received. 
Does anyone know of an easier way to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Shane
