Re: [hylafax-users] Hylafax doesn't know what modem to use

[Martin Szymanski <szymanski@nlcom.nl>]

Hi Bernard,

I did run faxaddmodem and I chose capi20 as the modem device. The setup continues fine untill it tests the modemspeed, and then it fails. I suppose it doesn't write the configuratin file that way ....


the ls config* command in the /var/spool/hylafax/etc dir gives the following results

config  config.c2fax  config.faxCAPI

so the config.capi20 file is missing.

b.t.w. I'm using capi20 because I have an ISDN Fritz! card installed and I'm using Capi drivers and capi4hylafax.

I can send faxes using c2faxsend, so the hardware is working.

Thank you for your help,
Martin

Did you run faxaddmodem? It seems like you don't have a configuration file
for that modem or something. When you look into /var/spool/hylafax/etc, do
you have the following files there:

	config
	config.capi20

How do you start faxgetty? From inittab? How the inittab line looks like?
Is the device name /dev/capi20? Can you talk to the modem with kermit,
minicom, tip or similar program when you actually point the program to
talk to /dev/capi20? The default for minicom is to use /dev/modem, so make
sure you are actually really talking to /dev/capi20. /dev/capi20 is a
strange name for a modem device anyway. I would expect /dev/cua* or
something similar.
