Re: [hylafax-users] Simple, Basic Question

[Joe Villari <joev_nylxs@pipeline.com>]

  I tried:

[joev@localhost joev]$ sendfax -n -d 16467348236 printtest.txt

to see if I could get Hylafax to call my phone and I get this result:

request id is 4 (group id 4) for host localhost (1 file)

but the modem doesn't dial nor does my phone ring.

any ideas?

Joe
