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

["Dihor, Viktor" <viktor.dihor@fernwaerme-ulm.de>]

Hello Bernard,

as I see You are using a ISDN Card to send and recive Faxes.
But Hylafax dosen't support at the moment ISDN Cards.
So you needs some trics to register the Fritz Card taht Hylafax can use it.
First questtion: Did you generate with capi4hylafaxconfig a config file
calles /etc/hylafax/config.faxCAPI ?
If yes then you can register the Fritz Card at Hylafax.
C2faxsend is part of the capi4hylafax and has nothing to do whith hylafaxl.
Did you allready registerd the Fritz Card (faxCAPI) at the Hylafax System?
If not You have to register the card with "faxmodem faxCAPI".
Now Hylafax knows the new device.
You should not!!!!!!!! and thas very important try to register a modem whith
the device /dev/capi20 at the hylafax System.
Because the emulated modem device has other ATA Cammoans then a analog Modem
has.
If You have registerd a modem with faxaddmodem /dev/capi20 try to delete the
modem.
Just remove your old config.capi20 and restart hylafax.
In order to use c2faxrecv (it has nothing to do whith Hylafax Server, it
just hepls You to biuld a bridge betweeen CAPI and Hylafax),
You have to put "/usr/share/doc/capi4hylafax/examples/sample_faxrcvd" as
"faxrcvd" in /var/spool/hylafax/bin and edit the dokument, for youre needs.

I hope these helps You a litle bit.

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.

Bernard
