[hylafax-users] FaxGetty issues - it's just not answering!

["Adrian Hill" <ah@nrmi.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I have successfully set up a Multitech ISI5634PCI 8-port PCI modem on our
machine. I can talk to it using minicom, and it seems to work happily
enough. I am currently only using one of my ports (although I previously set
up all eight and the same messages appeared), ttyM1a.

I installed hylafax, having followed the online documentation (it starts:
"Server Setup and Basic Configuration"). I have ran faxsetup and
faxaddmodem, and hylafax is starting from /etc/rc.d/init.d/hylafax {start |
stop}. It spawns one faxgetty process, but does not add any output to
/var/log/messages (even when I send a fax to it: the phone rings, but
nothing happens in /var/log/messages).

If I kill the currently running faxgetty process (loaded automatically on
startup by hylafax)...

[root@fax nrm]# ps ax
<snip />
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
787 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyM1a
<snip />

[root@fax nrm]# kill -9 787

... then the output from /var/log/messages reads (with ServerTracing set to
1):

[root@fax nrm]# tail -f /var/log/messages
Jun 10 10:14:29 fax FaxGetty[791]: OPEN /dev/ttyM1a  HylaFAX (tm) Version
4.1.2
Jun 10 10:14:39 fax FaxGetty[791]: MODEM MTS ISI5634PCI/s052099fV

NB: I didn't want to send the whole script (with servertracing set to 0xFFF)
to you - it's big, so I have uploaded it onto my personal webspace. Please
check the following URL or give us an e-mail request for it. There are no
errors reported in the long script.
