[hylafax-users] Fwd: Re: HylaFAX 4.2.1-23 and Fedora Core 3

Well, the problem with faxgetty and HylaFAX is ALMOST solved. 

The original problem has resurfaced now that kppp and faxgetty play nice with 
each other.

kppp and faxgetty coexist now, but after logging on to my ISP and then
logging off (after about 1 hour), I tried to send a fax. It gets queued but 
never sent. faxstat reports the status as " Waiting for modem to come ready". 
It seems to be stuck in that mode and will not get out of it. HylaFAX thinks 
that the modem is still being used by kppp. I checked the kppp lock file - it 
was deleted by kppp on exit. So no lock file.

After playing around with several modem commands, I was able to get HylaFAX to 
start sending the fax, but then it stopped. I hadn't noticed that HylaFAX had 
started sending the fax, and issued some others commands, including the 
initialization command "ATZ". So not too sure if HylaFAX broke the connection 
and stopped sending or if it just recognized that I had done something. 
Anyway, I wasn't able to get HylaFAX to restart sending the fax after that.

So now faxgetty and kppp play nice with each other, but I still cannot send a 
fax since HylaFAX is "Waiting for modem to come ready". If I delete the 
file /var/spool/hylafax/status/ttyS0, then faxstat reports HylaFAX as 
"running" and still no faxes are sent. So deleting the status file achieves 
nothing.

How do I get HylaFAX "off the dime" and reporting "running and Idle" once kppp 
exits and deletes it's lock file.

I have changed the kppp hangup command to "ATHATZ" but that made no 
difference. I have tried issuing the command "AT+FCLASS=0" manually and that 
made no difference.

HylaFAX just sits waiting for the modem to come ready.

Any Ideas????

Thanks,
Terry
