Here is my config file for Creatix LC144. It works for outgoing and incomming faxes.

I am trying to set up a Hylafax v4.0pl1 server on FreeBSD 2.2.1 to
serve outgoing only for Win3.x/WinNT4.0 machines.  I have a Hayes
ACCURA 56K External Speakerphone Modem on cuaa0.  This is a class 1
fax device.  The cuaa0 dev is also used for PPP dialup to my ISP using
userPPP within FreeBSD.

I have got the software installed but the setup is still shaky.  I
have the hfaxd service setup in inetd on port 4559 and this is working
OK from boot (i.e. the Win machines can communicate and pass faxes
through).

I am starting faxq from the following script at bootup in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hylafax.sh -

if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/faxq ]; then
        /usr/local/sbin/faxq && echo 'Hylafax Server.'
fi

The faxq starts up OK but when I send a fax through it sits there
saying 'Modem cuaa0 (+44.(0)1268.764615): Waiting for modem to come
ready'.

If I then type '/usr/local/sbin/faxmodem cuaa0' at the command line
the modem then dials and sends the faxes OK.  What am I missing and
where?

Also after the modem has sent the fax it is staying in class1 mode and
I can't send data (i.e. make a PPP connection).  I have tried the
following strings in the 'ModemResetCmds' variable of
/var/spool/fax/etc/config.cuaa0 with no joy -

AT+FCALSS=0	# Set to Fax Class 0 (Data)
ATF		# Set to factory presets

Any ideas please?

Thanks
Jay
