Hi to you
all.
I have the
latest RedHat 9 and Hylafax 4.1.7 running on i386. All packages are up 2 date.
I followed
the install procedure from the TAR file as well as the RPM for RH9. Both give me
the same result. I did faxsetup, faxaddmodem and faxmodem. Nowhere in the processus did I
get an error (a small tiff lib prob, but fixed by installing libtiff-devel).
Everything went exactly as expected.
1st
irritant:
I print to
\\serveripaddress\faxlp and my
resulting ps file goes to /var/spool/lpd. I can see and open it. It does not go
out to the fax. But, when I use the sendfax command in a shell with proper
options, the fax eventually gets out (few seconds)
When I
faxstat -s, I get
ttyS0 running and idle (my USR 56 v.92 rel 5.4.44
external modem) which is what I expect
My
/var/spool/lpd/status.pr looks like:

anonftp is
an anonymous ftp user I have created for that server?????
2nd
irritant:
I have
to faxmodem ttyS0 in a shell everytime for faxes to get out... Is this
normal?
3rd
irritant:
After
manually sending a fax, the faxstat -s command always returns waiting for modem
to become ready... Untill another fax comes in the queue. Is this
normal?
If someone
can guide me towards a paper/doc/whatever I missed please...
Best
regards
Marco
