flexfax: Fax send by sendfax is corrupted

[Ng Pek Yong <npy@mailhost.net>]

Hi there,

I have been trying over to set up a Hylafax fax server over the 
past week or so. I have made tremendous progress since I 
started, but I still can't send fax from Hylafax's sendfax 
without corrupting the output.  (Receiving is OK)

I set up 2 Linux box to do the testing. Both Linux boxes use
USR modem (33.6 & 56). Both modems have broken Class2.0 
implementation, so I use Class 1 instead.

The 1st box houses the Hylafax server (Box1). For testing 
purposes, I use both the Hylafax package and the efax package 
here.  However, I don't use these 2 packages at the same time
to receive faxes for obvious reasons.  

The 2nd box (Box 2) contains only the efax package. It is used to
facilitate the testing of the Hylafax server.
 
The experimentation involves sending a tiff file between
these 2 machines (By using tiff file, I eliminate
file conversion problems). The results are summarised below:

Sender			Receiver		Status
------			-------			------
Box2 w/efax		Box1 w/efax   		OK
Box1 w/efax		Box2 w/efax   		OK
Box2 w/efax		Box1 w/Hylafax		OK
Box1 w/Hylafax(sendfax)	Box2 w/efax   		Corrupted

Observation: efax works perfectly, so the problem is not  likely
to be coming from the modem. 

I suspect the problem lies in faxgetty.  Is it possible 
to turn off faxgetty and still get Hylafax to work 
(As a send-only fax server)?  If so, how? 

For those who are interested to help me out, here's the gory 
details (Hope I provide enough ;-):

Thanks,
Pek Yong
