I suggest that you have a look into the /etc/passwd file to ensure
that the fax user has been set up okay - there should be an entry like:

fax:*:10:14:Facsimile Agent:/var/spool/fax:

Yes, this entry is there. Does it have a password? I reset the password to "password"

Then edit the /etc/inittab file to run faxgetty - again an entry like:

# Let faxgetty look after the modem
t0:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

Yes, I have this on my /etc/inittab file

At a push you can simply add the commands to your rc.local file:

# Start HylaFAX
/usr/local/sbin/faxq
/usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i hylafax

I have also added these lines.


'ps -ax |grep fax' should show now faxgetty, faxq and hfaxd.

Now all the three programs are loaded and ready.

'sendfax -n -d 123456 /etc/passwd'

Thank you. The fax was successfully send to my fax machine.

Because there is too much English language already in the world. Surely
there's room for other cultures in the global village? 'Vive la difference!'
as Uli would say.
Delete the file \windows\system\whfclang.ger if you really must, and Whfc
will revert to English.

Indeed, English were everywhere.... I wish I could understand the german, is it?
I wanted to learn Spanish and French language but always can't find time.

Anyway, I have some other problems.
These is the log when I tried to send from my fax machine to the hylafax.

ERROR: terminated abnormally: Missing EOL after 5 seconds
How do I solve this problem?

Few more questions on whfc.
1) In the host entry, do I put in the Linux host name?
2) When I ran whfc, it prompted me a password. Whatever password I keyed in were not valid. I tried the password for root, fax, hkmun(my username), etc. All failed.

The most important part after the whfc works is to be able for me to send and recv fax from my Win9x PC. Hope more guru who have this solution will help me out.

Thanks to Phil for taking me so far and hope to have your continuos support.

Regards,
Kok Mun
