flexfax: faxgetty hangs ...

[Matthias Schuendehuette <matthias@mscu.snafu.de>]

Hello everybody,

i'm running <HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.0pl2> on FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
with a <MODEM ZYXEL E2864/V 3.00> connected to serial port 1
(/dev/cuaa0) of my ASUS P5A MB, BIOS V1009.

In the beginning of my HylaFAX-adventure i could not send anything
until i found that "PageChop"-problem in the Mailinglist archive.

Sending works fine now, but for a few weeks now, i can't receive
anymore.... I *have* received faxes already for sure and i'm not
aware to have anything changed (but the PageChop parameter to "none")
but the log-file now reports:

and so on. 'faxgetty' hangs and nothing happens any more.

I sent with the same machine (my laptop, also with HylaFAX) to conventional
faxmachines without a problem. Also when receiving from the laptop with my
main machine under OS/2 FaxWorks, everything is OK. Otherwise faxgetty hangs
on my main machine even when receiving from conventional faxmachines -
that's what got my attention the first time.

The same happens on my machine @work, same software, different hardware,
same problems. And I tested @work both directions with a traditional
faxmachine, and it worked some time ago!

Has anybody solved that problem or has a hint where to look?

Ciao/BSD - Matthias

PS: I did a control installation with plain FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE
    - same problem!
