[hylafax-users] sendfax: "Can not determine file type"

[Sebastian Steins <steins@epost.de>]

Hello list,

I have installed hylafax-server hylafax-client and capi4hylafax
under Debian GNU/Linux "woody". The capi4hylafax*.deb is 
currently only avaible in Debian-unstable but I got an older
pakage, which is according to my libc.
On the hardware-side a AVM B1 card works in my server.

Now I want to set up Capi4HylaFAX and HylaFAX. The problems
looks as follows:

Sending and receiving facsimiles with c2fax* isn't a problem.

But sending faxes using sendfax returns error
"Can not determine file type". This error occurs, when I try
to send a .ps, a .tif or a .txt file, and even when I do like
this:

# sendfax -d NUMBER
text
text
[...]
/tmp//[...]: Can not determine file type.

faxstat shows:

# faxstat -v
Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559...
Connected to CASSIOPEIA.local.lan.
220 CASSIOPEIA.local.lan server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1.1) ready.

200 PORT command successful.

150 Opening new data connection for "status".
HylaFAX scheduler on CASSIOPEIA.local.lan: Running
Modem faxCAPI (): Running and idle
226 Transfer complete.


I can't use faxsetup, because it returns:
# faxsetup

Setup program for HylaFAX (tm) 4.1.1.

Make /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pdf2fax a link to /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pdf2fax.gs.

Update /var/spool/hylafax/status/any.info.

Modem support functions written to /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.modem.
Configuration parameters written to /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache.

Done verifying system setup.



So I can't input any data to faxsetup.

The SendFaxCMD in the "config" is already set and a
'faxmodem faxCAPI' doesn't help.


So, what can I do to use sendfax?
Unfortunately Google didn't help me.



Thanks a lot


Sebastian
