Re: [hylafax-users] Waiting for the modem to become ready

["Anthony Diak" <anthonyd@rhsonline.net>]

Did you try the part in the setup manual that says to check your modem?

"Once you have a modem to use with HylaFAX™ first make sure that the modem
works for data use. One can not say this enough. If you can not use a
communication program such as cu, tip, or kermit, with your modem, do not
try to configure it for use with HylaFAX™. This means in particular that
you should verify that you have a working cable between your host and
modem and that this cable is suitable for use. That is, that the cable has
the relevant signals for doing hardware flow control if that is necessary
and that it passes the DCD and DTR signals appropriately.
Verify that the modem you are using is a fax modem. This can be done by
communicating directly with the modem using a communication program such
as cu; for example:

hyla% cu -l ttyf2
Connected
at+fclass=?
0,1,2
OK
~[hyla].
Disconnected

The at+fclass=? command asks the modem to report which classes it is
capable of supporting. Class 0 is for data use. Class 1, Class 2, and
Class 2.0 are for facsimile use. Other classes may be reported, for
example, for modems that provide digitized voice support. HylaFAX™ can be
used with any modem that supports Class 1, Class 2, or Class 2.0. "

Also, while you are in cu, you can try dialing out by issuing the
following commands:

at
OK
atdt9999999999    (where 9999999999 is the phone number you want to dial)

See if the modem works correctly on the phone line, maybe thats the problem.
