Re: [hylafax-users] problems to set modem whith faxaddmodem script



I run HylaFax on my FreeBSD-4.9 server at home and we tried it at the office until the M$ oriented IT department pulled the plug on us. No matter which version of FreeBSD or which modem I used I got the same results you mentioned when I ran faxaddmodem. The only way I could stop the message was to kill the faxaddmodem process by hand after I completed the setup.
 
The program failure to complete it's run appearently does no harm. I did note that I had to go into the /var/spool/hylfax/etc folder and adjust a few items by hand because faxaddmodem did not complete properly.
 
All my requests for help on this issue went unanswered. But since HylaFax worked fine after I edited the files by hand, I never paid much attention to this.

Hi!

I have tried to install hylafax 4.1.8 on few FreeBSD machines (v4.8 and v5.2.1) but always failed (so my colegue did). Every time installation stops on faxaddmodem script when it starts detecting my modem and checks for communicatio speed ->36400 OK, then it starts looping with message hmmm, something wrong hung up... or similar. I tried different modems i.e. SpeedCom External VD56SP, Genius GM56E-V, US-Robotics Sportster 14,400 - result is the same. Modems are working properly from command line.
Any help appreciated!

Thanks in advance
