[hylafax-users] Hylafax modems / drivers

["Claudio Vuerli" <c.vuerli@tecnoteca.it>]

 

Dear all,

 

I'm trying to install Hylafax on a PC desktop running SuSE 8.0. I'm finding

problems with my internal PC modem. This is a Conexant HSF PCI Modem,

I've successfully installed the proper driver but the problem is that when I test

the modem with "cu -l modem" it is seen as a Class 0 modem hence Hylafax

refuses to configure it. I know that somebody else already wrote to this list

about this problem and the answer was to try CAPI4Hylafax.

 

I've however another modem fax available here. It's a US Robotics Sportster 28.8

(external on serial port). By the way this is one of the modems that appear in the list

of modems that can be used with Hylafax. However I'm unable to find a proper driver

to install on my SuSE system, so I would know whether somebody else in this list is using

this kind of modem and if so, could you tell me where I can find a suitable driver for

this modem ?

 

If nobody else is using this modem, any suggestion about the modem to use among those

in the hylafax list and from where to download the corresponding SuSE/Linux driver is

OK to me; I can provide for the (preferably PCI internal) modem you will suggest to me. 

 

I'll appreciate very much all suggestions as I'm a bit in trouble. I'm looking forward to

your answers.

 

Thanks very much in advance to all of you
