flexfax: processing queued faxes

[Thomas Erhardt <erhardt@centaur.de>]

I'm running
        hylafax-v4.0pl2
        gcc 2.7.2.3
        Linux 2.0.27
        Zyxel U-1496E 2.0 (don't know firmware version)

Problem description:
        I've set up a mail2fax-Gateway.
        Mails sent to the GW are placed correct in the sendq directory.   
        The Problem is: The queued mails do not get processed.
        (According to the log files)
        
        I think the problem has something to do with the modem.
        When running 'faxststate -' it says:
	HylaFAX scheduler on zeus.centaur.de: Running
        Modem ttyS1 (+49.7131.XXXXXX): Waiting for modem to come ready
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
        JID  Pri S  Owner Number       Pages Dials     TTS Status
        1    127 W    fax 07131XXX      0:0   0:12

        I get the 'Waiting for modem to come ready' message also, when the
        modem is switched off !!!

        I think the serial connection is o.k. cause I can use minicom  
        (terminal prog) to dial out successfully
        Switching off and on again (the modem) doesn't change anything!

 	I set ServerTracing and SessionTracing to '0x11' (in 
	/var/spool/fax/config) and Verbose to 'yes' (in
	/usr/local/lib/fax/hyla.conf)

	When trying to send a fax via mail I only see:

	Feb 20 16:48:27 zeus HylaFAX[6643]: Filesystem has SysV-style file
	creation semantics.
	Feb 20 16:48:28 zeus FaxQueuer[6623]: SUBMIT JOB 2
	
	Nothing about trying to dial out....

	Any Ideas ???

	btw, is there a command to force queued faxes to be
	processed (like sendmail -q)?
