Hello all!
I have a problem, I'm experimenting with deploying a hylafax
installation but I've runned into a problem.
I installed version 4.2.1-1fc3 (RPM from hylafax.org) on a fresh
installed machine with FC3 with a PCMCIA modem ActionTec Datalink V90
LK (http://www.actiontec.com/support/modems/dlv90lk.html) modem gets
detected by linux perfectly with no problems at boot time and creates
device (ttyS3), it's already configured on inittab to launch
(mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS3), hylafax starts as
expected:
Mar 1 17:53:01 fax hylafax: faxq startup succeeded
Mar 1 17:53:01 fax FaxQueuer[2392]: HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.2.1

Version 4.2.1
Mar 1 17:53:15 fax FaxGetty[2442]: MODEM AEIGFM560LKNF1
AEIGFM560LKNF1/p052099f
faxstat reports the modem as ready
[root@fax ~]# faxstat
HylaFAX scheduler on fax.intranet.acorporativa.com.mx: Running
Modem ttyS3 ((55)5393-8720): Running and idle
[root@fax ~]#
but faxgetty never answers incomming calls, i've straced faxgetty's
process and got this:
select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {29, 999096}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 489798}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 490670}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 491240}, NULL) = 0
select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {0, 636}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 494599}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 495321}, NULL) = 0
open("/var/lock/LCK..ttyS3", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496569}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496789}, NULL) = 0
and it keeps looping and looping, if I make a call to the fax, it will
still be the same.
When it's on the right mood and after several reboot's it will answer
the phone, but if you call it and no fax is sent, it will go to this
same mode again. Also if it's running normally and I restart the
hylafax service /etc/init.d/hylafax restart it will hang this same
way.
I've commed to see that it's a uucp locking problem, but haven't found
a way to fix it.
any ideas on what's going on? did I do something wrong?
