[hylafax-users] problem with sending faxes (sendfax freezes)

["Tobias Bartel" <mail@tobias-bartel.de>]

greetings,

these days i try to install hylafax (version  4.1.1) on my debian 3.0
(codname woody) box and i'm using a avm fritz! card as a fax.
so far i managed to get the fax reciving part up and running which should
proof that all the basics are working. however the sending a fax still is
a mystery for me.when i do a "sendfax" it just freezes and i have to
interrupt theoperation with a crtl+c.

here is some output from the sendfax command:


router:/var/spool/hylafax/etc# cd /
router:/# sendfax -vv -n -d 17998528 /home/tobi/fax.ps

and that's it, it stops right here and does nothing, no error message in
any logfile or anything, so far i wasn't abel to find a problem
description that is even remotly similar to this one.
btw. the fax ends up in the send queue but doesn't get delivered but i
guess this will be another problem.

don't know if anybody needs it but here is some more stuff
