faxstat reads what is in /var/spool/hylafax/status where is one file for each modem.
if you don't execute faxgetty it always says "Modem ttyS0 (blahblah): Waiting for modem
to come ready" and with faxgetty not running you can write "Jebem ti mater" 
to /var/spool/hylafax/status/ttyS0. guess what will faxstat say than, huh????
and actually faxstat works fine while sending fax.

anyway intention of this mail was not to talk about what faxstat shows or what not.
i was asking about state of modems, which you can alter with "faxstate".
and all i am asking is if there is any way to see states of modems and if you need
to run faxgetty (not) to see this.

and if you don't know the answer, you don't have to answer.


i wonder what you say to merchant which offers you a newspaper.
a> i'm not gay "or"
b> i don't read newspapers
c> i am vegeterian

according to your previous mail you either answer with a or c.

and if you don't know. mailing lists "are" here to help and to ask stupid questions
which you don't know the answer.

no offence,

gregor.
