Re: [hylafax-users] HSF modem doesn't answer phone



Lee, George, thanks for the help. Using minicom does seem to indicate that the RING is not being sent which would explain why faxgetty is not doing anything. I will try the hsf mailing list to see if there is an answer out there.

I have a USR 5660A fax modem running on a RedHat ES 2.1 system with
Hylafax 4.1.8.  I downloaded the latest HSF driver from Linuxant.com and
applied the license (so it is a full version).  The modem seems to
respond to the chat from faxgetty but it won't answer the phone - just
rings and rings. I set RingsBeforeAnswer to 3 and ModemType to Class1
operation.  Its pretty much the Rockwell RC288DPi config otherwise.  If
I use faxanswer then it receives the fax just fine.  Obviously this
isn't going to work for unattended operation.

I have set ServerTracing to 15 and SessionTracing to 11, but I don't see
any logs in either the hylafax log area or in the system messages file
that relates until I use faxanswer at which point I get the log of the
successful receipt.



I'd check that the modem is sending you "RING" with a communication terminal program, such as minicom, while the phone's ringing. My *guess* is the problem is with the linuxant driver. If you can't find an answer here, I'd try the list for linuxant "hcflinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx".




I noticed that the default setup sent ATS0=0 to the modem, so I added
"ATS0=3" in the config file for ModemSetupAACmd and I can see that it



It sets number of rings to autoanswer by the modem. Hylafax sets that to zero to disable autoanswer. It should be left at zero.
