[hylafax-users] faxgetty doesn't answer

["Hector S. Mendoza Ortiz" <hector@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all!

I have a problem, I'm experimenting with deploying a hylafax installation 
but I've runned into a problem.

I installed version 4.2.1-1fc3 (RPM from hylafax.org) on a fresh installed 
machine with FC3 with a PCMCIA modem ActionTec Datalink V90 LK 
(http://www.actiontec.com/support/modems/dlv90lk.php) modem gets detected 
by linux perfectly with no problems at boot time and creates device (ttyS3), 
it's already configured on inittab to launch 
(mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS3), hylafax starts as expected:

Mar  1 17:53:01 fax hylafax: faxq startup succeeded
Mar  1 17:53:01 fax FaxQueuer[2392]: HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.2.1

Mar  1 17:53:05 fax FaxGetty[2442]: OPEN /dev/ttyS3  HylaFAX (tm) Version 
4.2.1
Mar  1 17:53:15 fax FaxGetty[2442]: MODEM AEIGFM560LKNF1 
AEIGFM560LKNF1/p052099f


faxstat reports the modem as ready

[root@fax ~]# faxstat
HylaFAX scheduler on fax.intranet.acorporativa.com.mx: Running
Modem ttyS3 ((55)5393-8720): Running and idle
[root@fax ~]#

but faxgetty never answers incomming calls, i've straced faxgetty's process 
and got this:

select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {29, 999096}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 489798}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 490670}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 491240}, NULL) = 0
select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {0, 636})     = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 494599}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 495321}, NULL) = 0
open("/var/lock/LCK..ttyS3", O_RDONLY)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496569}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496789}, NULL) = 0

and it keeps looping and looping, if I make a call to the fax, it will still 
be the same.

When it's on the right mood and after several reboot's it will answer the 
phone, but if you call it and no fax is sent, it will go to this same mode 
again. Also if it's running normally and I restart the hylafax service 
/etc/init.d/hylafax restart it will hang this same way.

I've commed to see that it's a uucp locking problem, but haven't found a way 
to fix it.

any ideas on what's going on? did I do something wrong?

Thanks for all the help

Héctor
