[hylafax-users] Gentoo - Hylafax 4.2.5 - Waiting for modem to come ready

["Fred Newtz" <fnewtz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my results from probemodem:

 

ATI0    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "MT5656ZDX"
ATI1    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "042"
ATI2    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "OK"
ATI3    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "ACF3_V2.000B-V90_P21_FSH"
ATI4    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "a007040284C6002F"
ATI5    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "B5"
ATI6    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "RCV56DPF-PLL L8773A Rev 62.01/62.01"
ATI7    RESULT = "OK"   RESPONSE = "OK"
ATI8    RESULT = "ERROR"        RESPONSE = "ERROR"
ATI9    RESULT = "ERROR"        RESPONSE = "ERROR"

Of course all the class stuff shows up but I don't know how important it is to this problem.

 

I have the following in my /etc/inittab file:

m0:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

 

I have verifyed it is running with ps -aux.  When it first loads it does state Initializing Server then goes to Waiting for modem to come ready.

 

I have done a cat /dev/ttyS0 and I see the modem put up the ring when I call it.  I get the tones when I call by voice but when I call with a fax machine it will not answer.  Could it have anything to do with my :

 

ModemResetCmds:         ATZ

 

Should I set it to a more complex string that turns auto answer on, or does Hylafax turn it on for me?

 

Will it cause a problem to be doing cat /dev/ttyS0 when I am trying to send the fax?

 

Please let me know if I have not provided enough information to troubleshoot this problem.

 

Thanks,

Fred
