Re: [hylafax-users] What's required to make faxpolling work?

[Peter Christoph Alexander Bär <comet.friend@gmx.net>]

Seems, Class 1 doesn't solve the problem, either, not even with a 
DestControls file.

Could it be a time issue? I observe the following: The hardware clock is 
running on UTC, but my desktop is running on Berlin time (which is UTC 
+ 1 hour + 1 hour "daylight savings time" in summer). On the other 
hand: I only found a hint that all remote machines using a Hylafax 
server should be in time sync with the Hylafax server computer; in my 
case, I am currently running server and client programs from one and 
the same machine...

More see below...

Gentle long-form of RTFM, but right you are, thanks for pointing me to 
the obvious. 8-) But there are so many manpages for Hylafax, that I 
just had overlooked the relevant one... ;-) Serious: I found the 
relevant section in the manpage for hylafax-server, now.

Unfortunately, setting the modem type in the DestControls has no effect. 
The modem still doesn't even try to dial a number.... So I'll have to 
look why it dials like expected with 

	sendfax -d, 

but not with 

	sendfax -p -d.

But it doesn't dial, and there are no log file entries explaining, why.

I wonder if modem class has any effect *before* dialling.... I'll check 
that with the modem running in Class 1 mode. I ran faxsetup and 
faxaddmodem again and set up my modem as Class 1. However, the result 
is still the same: No polling.

Here's the job report email from the server for the job I tried to use 
for polling with the modem set up as a Class 1 device.
