    Hi,
    
    I seem to have screwed up something on my HylaFax setup to disable it.
    I had it working just fine until today.  Well, the last thing that I
    used it (or tried to use it) was for receiving a fax.  I was unable to
    receive the fax and then gave up.  Then today, I tried to send a fax
    and it wouldn't do that either (it used to send faxes just fine but
    I had never tried to receive any).  Here's some of the diagnostics
    that might help you isolate the problem:
    
    % tail /var/spool/fax/etc/syslog
    Apr  1 20:22:13 gupta inetd[289]: execv /usr/etc/faxd.recv: No such file or dire
    
    % faxstat -v
    Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559...
    Connected to localhost.
    Service not available, remote server closed connection
    
    
    I used to have to run the "faxsetup" script before I could use the
    "sfax" script.  Doing so doesn't help any more.  I get the following
    after running sfax:
    
    Service not available, remote server closed connection
    
    Sendfax failed, fax was not sent
    A copy of your fax template has been saved in /root/dead.fax
    
    
    Can somebody please help?  I'd be more than happy to email any
    and all other diagnostics that you might require.

You've mixed some versions or at least terms of two
different versions. "faxd.recv" belongs to the old
HylaFAX/FlexFAX version while "faxsetup" belongs to
HylaFAX v4.x and also the port 4559 is the standard
port of v4.x version. You have to clean up your system
(e.g. remove all old version 3.x parts) and install or
configure HylaFAX v4.0pl1 from scratch.
