flexfax: Redhat5.2 & Sun Solaris 2.6 Problem

[Tahsin Hersan <Tahsin.Hersan@rumeli.net>]

Hi,
I was wondering, has anybody managed to install HylaFAX correctly
(inbound/outbound) with Redhat 5.2 Linux distribution? I've tried both
rpm package and the source codes. I have installed every necessary tools
(mawk,tiff and ghostscript) but it didnt worked. My modem is 56k X2
(Upgraded to V90) Us Robotics Sportster.

First i tried to install HylaFAX to Solaris2.6 (SunOS5.6). But i couldnt
manage to compile the sources. It gave a lot of errors and didnt want to
compile. after that i've tried the binary package for SunOS5.4. After
the install, everything looked fine (faxq & hfaxd daemons were working
and if you give the faxstat command it gave the server is running and
idle response.) Plus, I've configured the faxgetty to get the outbound
faxes. But when i call the fax server it didnt answer the phone. And it
didnt send the faxes i sent. The faxsetup recognized my USR modem on
ttyb & cua/b. I have tried both 19200 & 38400 speeds. But Nothing
changed...
(My modem's ARQ/FAX led was flashing everytime. This means the modem is
configured in Fax mode..)

After the unsuccessful try with solaris2.6 i thought i could make it
work for my Redhat 5.2 Linux machine. I downloaded both rpm and source
packages of HylaFAX from ftp.sgi.com and enter the sequence all over
again on linux. rpm packages didnt work. then  i compiled the source
code. I installed the package i compiled and again everything looked
working but nope! Again, The modem wasnt answering the fax calls and
couldnt send any fax to outside.

Is there a problem with my modem or there is something i forgot to
configure? I need help. I am really stuck.

Thanks.
