[hylafax-users] probemodem fails

["M.K. tenNapel" <mtennapel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm sure sure you've all seen this question many times but I really
can't fix it. So I hope someone know how to get it working.

I have Hylafax-4.2.1-r1 installed on my Gentoo box. My modem is an
external, serial modem that is hooked up on com1. The modem itself works
fine because I can communicate with it with minicom.
I can start the faxserver but any fax I send stays in the queue and
won't be send. It's like the faxserver doesn't know there is a modem.
When I run probemodem, I get this:

***
Serial port that modem is connected to []? ttys0

Now we are going to probe the tty port.  This takes a few seconds,
so be patient.  Note that if you do not have the modem cabled to
the port, or the modem is turned off, this may hang (just go and
cable up the modem or turn it on, or whatever).

Probing for best speed to talk to modem:
Unable to deduce DTE-DCE speed; check that you are using the
correct device and/or that your modem is setup properly.  If
all else fails, try the -s option to lock the speed.
***

I'm desperately trying to get this working for a few days now. I really
hope some can help me out here. I posted a question in the Gentoo forums
but that gave me nothing:

Thanks for your time anyway :)
