Modem faxCAPI (+44.161.835.2301): Waiting for modem to come ready

In the logs I see only this:

Hello Gavin,


it looks as if faxgetty is running which does not understand the format of config.faxCAPI. (It's different from the normal modem configuration files.)

On Debian you have a file /etc/default/hylafax. In this file you must set USE_FAXGETTY=no. This tells hylafax not to start faxgetty and not to expect a faxgetty process started by init.

With a modem this would be a send-only configuration, but capi4hylafax works very different from analog modems. You will be able to receive faxes anyway if it's allowed in config.faxCAPI.


Bodo
