[hylafax-users] Just won't work



Hi guys,

I recently had to reload a server (hard drives died), so I decided to start 
fresh with SUSE 9.2 - was 8.0 before.  The whole filesystem was backed up so 
it shouldn't be an issue, right?

I just can't get hylafax to play along.  All it used to do take incoming 
faxes, and print them to a network printer.  Nothing more.

I started by setting it up as per the docs - wouldn't work.  Then I tried 
using the old config files - wouldn't work either.  Now I'm back to where I 
started.   Here's what I have:

In /etc/inittab, I have:

mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/modem

/dev/modem points to /dev/ttyS0 to which the modem is attached (the only 
serial port on the box).  I have changed the faxgetty line to point 
to /dev/ttyS0 directly to see if that makes a difference - will reboot the 
box when I get a chance (after hours)

When I phone the number, the phone rings, but hylafax doesn't answer.  In 
fact, /var/log/messages doesn't even show any calls coming in - it's like the 
computer isn't connected toe the modem, but it is!

I'll include the relevant config files, please let me know if there's anything 
else I need to send along.
