[hylafax-users] faxing problems - lucent win/linmodem

[Praedor Tempus <praedor@yahoo.com>]

I am running Mandrake 8.2 on an IBM Thinkpad 1412.  This laptop has a lucent 
winmodem in it that I have working  in linux using the linmodem driver.

I am trying to get hylafax working with this system with no success thus far. 
I get MUCH farther with efax, in that I get dialtone, dialing, negotiation, 
and an attempt to send a fax (though it ultimately fails apparently due to an 
improper response from the fax on the receiving end).

Hylafax gets nowhere near as far as efax...not even a dialtone.

I have run probemodem and it got all the poop on my modem.  I have done 
faxsetup.  I have checked everything I can think of but being new to setting 
up a fax on linux I am not sure what I'd be looking for anyway.

In trying to send a fax via "Print to Fax" in KDE 2.2.2 with CUPS, I get this 
in the Kdeprintfax log:

Sending to fax using: /usr/bin/sendfax -h 'localhost'  -d 
'recipient'@'5551212' -x '' -c '' -f 'praedor' 
/home/praedor/.kde/tmp-lapdog.ravenhome.net/kdeprint_Iic2VKw

request id is 10 (group id 10) for host localhost (1 file)

Thus, it appears to have qeued but nothing happens.  In /var/log/messages is:

Once again, no sign of difficulty, but nothing happens.

I have tried sending with and without faxgetty running.  I have tried 
restarting hylafax.  I have installed all the mgetty packages in hopes that 
it would fix whatever is wrong (on an assumption that I was missing 
something).

If I try to run faxsetup again, it will fail because it will get to a point, 
say that faxq is running and there are jobs (the queued-but-never-to-be-sent 
fax attempts).  It will try to kill them by pid but will inevitably fail.  I 
have tried and tried.  

So, how do I get hylafax working?  How do I get a list of queued fax jobs 
that I can kill off (like with lpq and lpqrm)?
