Re: [hylafax-users] Forcing outgoing faxes to a ttyS0

["Josh Welch" <jwelch@buffalowildwings.com>]

I appreciate the input on this very much. I used the ModemReadyState to keep
ttyS1 and ttyS2 from sending, and when I ran faxgetty for modem ttyS0, it
worked like a charm. I had indeed overlooked my solution. I think I was
confused because after running faxaddmodem, it says "Don't forget to run
faxmodem(8C) (if you have a send-only environment) or configure init to run
faxgetty on ttyS2." Since I only wanted to send on ttyS0, I assumed I should
run faxmodem for it.
Is there any harm to using the dialrules as opposed to ModemDialCmd for
inserting the 9? Besides going against all that the developers had intended
that is. Since the setup in dialrules is working for me, I'd rather not futz
with it.
Thanks A Lot
Josh
