flexfax: My WHFC Problem

[CN Liu <cn@mail.sinyih.com.tw>]

Hello!

Many thanks for the helps! I have done more tests, but my problem still
persists.

I can send from hylafax-v4.0pl2 in Linux 2.0.35 by issuing command:

sendfax -n -d 9999 /etc/hosts

Now I am trying to use WHFC 1.0.4 in Windows95 (4.00.950 B) from which
to send faxes.
I want to allow all users and hosts in domain company.com.tw to access
hylafax services.

mail:/var/spool/fax/etc# ls -l hosts
-rw-------   1 uucp     uucp          124 Feb  6 11:22 hosts
mail:/var/spool/fax/etc# cat hosts
localhost
127.0.0.1
203.66.130.*
^.*@.*\.company\.com\.tw$
mail:/var/spool/fax/etc# nslookup
Default Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

> set type=ptr
> 27.130.66.203.in-addr.arpa
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

27.130.66.203.in-addr.arpa      name = cn.company.com.tw
130.66.203.in-addr.arpa nameserver = mail.company.com.tw
mail.company.com.tw      internet address = 203.66.130.240
>

C:\WINDOWS>telnet 203.66.130.240 4559
220 mail.sinyih.com.tw server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.0pl2) ready.
230 User cn logged in.
...

(I am disallowed to login after telneting from Win95 and WHFC says "User
cn access denied" if I do:

chmod 640 /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts

Although WHFC can not login with hosts = mode 640, it is still alive.)


My problems are:

1. Every time I started WHFC, WHFC died immediately with status
"xx.xx.xx. server (HylaFAX(tm) Version 4.0pl2) ready."

2. I click "Test Print Page" in Printer Manager, sometimes I got
"WHFC-Ole Server not found" error from WFCMON but sometimes I didn't. If
I got WFCMON error, WHFC did not appear. Otherwise, if I did not get
WFCMON error, WHFC is invoked automatically. Then I typed in the
destination phone#. Then the "sending fax" window appeared with status
"Data Connection sucessfull opened" and died.

Only stopping "WHFC, Rundll32" and "Sending fax" after pressing
Alt+Ctrl+Del keys could I clean these dead windows.

Only my host (203.66.130.27) is added to DNS server's ip-to-domain
table.

I have tested WHFC in 6 Win95 hosts. 2 out of these 6 hosts can send
faxes from WHFC. The rest (4 hosts), including myself, are having
problems as stated above.


Regards,

CN
