flexfax: Hylafax, Digiboard and Sportsters - Oh my!

[Ken McCord <ken@themccords.com>]

Recently installed Hylafax 4.0pl2 on our dial-in server equipped with a
Digiboard PC/8e (Xe family) and four USR Sportster 28.8 external
modems.  The dial-in server had been using the mgetty package to handle
dial-in calls for several months with no problems.

I'm now running into a problem using Hylafax with the Digiboard and
Sportsters.  Everything seems to be configured OK, but incoming calls
are not being answered (ie the modem does not pick up).  I configured
Hylafax and mgetty to access a modem hanging off of com1 instead of the
Digiboard, and this works with no problem.

Can anyone shed some light on the problem?

Thanks,

Ken McCord


DIP Switch settings on the modems are:
1 - OFF - Normal DTR operations (computer must provide DTR, dropping DTR
terminates call)
2 - OFF - Verbal result codes
3 - ON  - Enable result codes
4 - OFF - Displays keyboard commands
5 - ON  - Disables auto answer
6 - OFF - Modem send CD signal when it connects with another modem,
drops CD on disconnect
7 - OFF - Loads Y or Y1 configuration from user-defined nonvolatile
memory
8 - ON  - Enables AT command set recognition

/etc/mgetty/mgetty.config (same as port ttyS0 which works)
port ttyD2
  modem-type c2.0
  direct y
  toggle-dtr n
