Hello List!

 

Is this Problem I am seeing a ‘Wedge” or something else?

 

            Modem ttyS15 (***-****): Receiving from "Always the Same Sender"

            fpclinux2:/home/lxuser # ps -A | grep fax

            3760 ?        00:00:00 faxq

            3762 ?        00:00:00 hfaxd

            29366 ?        00:00:01 faxgetty

            29368 ?        00:00:14 faxgetty

à         4588 ?        00:00:00 faxgetty <defunct>

 

            Often we see “faxgetty <defunct>” when we arrive in the morning.  ALWAYS from the same sender.  This after we ‘Grep’ “Fax” I notice that there is a 3^rd faxgetty (which is Defunct).

            We have ruled out this being line noise by switching the phone lines between the 2 modems (ttyS14 USED to do it) in the Box.  This is a send/receive error. 

            Sometimes we get errors, sometimes it will not give errors.  (Sender broadcasting multiple faxes overnight).  Sometimes it will happen on the 1^st or 2^nd fax, other times after the 10^th.  Simply must be a send-receive issue.  Sender SAYS nothing has changed on their end w/ their fax-server and we have not changed anything on ours, yet, this happened kind of ‘out of the blue’

            Solution so far has been to kill the faxgetty instances and re-start them.  What could be causing these?

 

SYSTEM INFO

Hylafax 4.2.2  --  Would like to WAIT a little bit to make sure the Flurry of ‘updates’ is over if possible.

Suse 9.0 Linux box

Dual AMD T-Bird with plenty of RAM.

Modems – PCI Internal  MultiTech MT5634ZPX

This Fax-Server is used for Receiving, we do not use it to send (unless I am bored and decide to print to the Fax-Server).  Caller-ID has been turned off.

 

            Modem config + last ‘error’ below (Error we saw here was  “Failed to properly detect high-speed data carrier”)  

            HOWEVER, we have gotten this in the past from the SAME sender and STILL continued to receive a next fax (and more).  I do NOT think this is the ‘Cause’ of faxgetty becoming <Defunct>
