Problem: I can send A (i.e., ONE ) fax. After the fax is sent, HylaFAX goes into a mode where it does 1 of 2 things:



This is probably because you're not running faxgetty or faxmodem. (Or perhaps faxgetty is having problems with kppp.)


I have found that faxgetty and kppp do not co-exist readily. I was able to get kppp to dial out and login to my ISP once, but it quickly died because the modem had been sent the hang-up command (from faxgetty I suspect). I have made do with swapping the "/etc/inittab" file between a plain vanilla one and a faxgetty one and rebooting to get faxgetty functionality when I need to receive faxes. Then reswapping and rebooting. I don't need to receive very often, as in very seldom.



In theory faxgetty and kppp should be able to coexist as long as they both use the same lockfile. So you'd have problems if one of them referred to /dev/ttyS0 while the other referred to /dev/modem.
