Re: [hylafax-users] problems to set modem whith faxaddmodem script

[Frank Griffith <glassdude45@xxxxxxxxx>]

I run HylaFax on my FreeBSD-4.9 server at home and we tried it at the office until the M$ oriented IT department pulled the plug on us. No matter which version of FreeBSD or which modem I used I got the same results you mentioned when I ran faxaddmodem. The only way I could stop the message was to kill the faxaddmodem process by hand after I completed the setup.

 

The program failure to complete it's run appearently does no harm. I did note that I had to go into the /var/spool/hylfax/etc folder and adjust a few items by hand because faxaddmodem did not complete properly.

 

All my requests for help on this issue went unanswered. But since HylaFax worked fine after I edited the files by hand, I never paid much attention to this.

Every time installation stops on faxaddmodem script when it starts detecting my modem and checks for communicatio speed ->36400 OK, then it starts looping with message hmmm, something wrong hung up... or similar. I tried different modems i.e. SpeedCom External VD56SP, Genius GM56E-V, US-Robotics Sportster 14,400 - result is the same. Modems are working properly from command line.
