********Hylafax stops working after a few received faxes. 12/19/2003********
Type of modem: ActionTec Modem PCIV9212-01CW Linux version: 2.4.18-14 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
Hylafax version: hylafax-4.1.8-1rh8
Other packages: libtiff-3.5.7-7, ghostscript-7.05-20, ghostscript-fonts-5.50-7
Issue: Hylafax answers the phone and will receive faxes and the modem will initialize to Idle and ready. It stops working after 3 or 7 faxes. It will be Idle and Ready before the last attempt. During the last attempt the status shows “Answering Phone”, but it will not make a successful handshake. The status will eventually stay at the line “waiting for modem to come ready”. Device no longer responds to calls until the server has been restarted.
The pci modem shares many devices on IRQ 10. Is that the reason for the modem being unstable after a few faxes? How do I assign the device to a different IRQ? Do I have to move the modem to a different pci slot or through the system bios?

# We can append the "@" symbol to the dial string so that

Please let me know if there is other information needed about my problem.
I do not understand why it is failing after many successful received faxes.
