Re: [hylafax-users] Waiting for modem to come ready

["Lorenzo" <lore@lanstation.it>]

Yep, no solution posted so-far...At least to my knowledge (I think I have
spent more time going through the mail-list archives than with my wife in
the past three weeks!)
Since I NEED to make my fax server work, I came up some days ago with a
shell script that checks the state of the HylaFAX server and - if found
"Waiting for the modem to come ready" - kills the faxgetty process. I have
created a cron job to check the status of the HylaFAX server every minute.
I have run the script for five days now and I can send and receive faxes
ok. Though this is just a sort of tweak.
Regards,

Lorenzo.
