[hylafax-users] Waiting for modem to come ready

["Vlach, Zdenek" <zdenek.vlach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

 

I am using Hylafax version 4.3.0. In my machine I have two modems. One is external COM port modem and one is PCI modem Microcom Deksporte 56K. External modem is configured for receive only. PCI modem is configured for send only. Receiving is working fine, but sending has a big issue. After send mail the modem is in the state:  Waiting for modem to come ready. I am using for sending faxgetty and modem is configured only for sending by RingsBeforeAnswer = 0. But also when I tried to set this event to 1 then the modem come after send to  Waiting for modem to come ready. I don’t have ide where is the problem. After machine reset is everything fine. But when I send one fax then all other faxes are in the queue and waiting.

 

 

Here is my modem configuration:

 

AreaCode:           ""

LongDistancePrefix: "0 "

InternationalPrefix:       "00 "

DialStringRules:    etc/dialrules

ServerTracing:             1

SessionTracing:            11

LogFileMode:        0600

DeviceMode:         0600

GettyArgs:          "-h %l dx_%s"

LocalIdentifier:    "send"

TagLineFont:        etc/lutRS18.pcf

TagLineFormat:             "From %%l %%n To %%d|%c|Page %%P of %%T"

MaxRecvPages:       "25 "

#QualifyCID:        "etc/cid"

#

#

# Modem-related stuff: should reflect modem command interface

# and hardware connection/cabling (e.g. flow control).

#

ModemType:          Class1       # use this to supply a hint

ModemRate:          38400        # rate for DCE-DTE communication

#ModemFlowControl:  xonxoff             # XON/XOFF flow control assumed

#

#ModemSetupDTRCmd:  AT&D2        # setup so DTR drop resets modem

#ModemSetupDCDCmd:  AT&C1        # setup so DCD follows carrier

GettyArgs:          "-h %l dx_%s" # modem must auto-detect fax/data

#

# We can append the "@" symbol to the dial string so that

# the modem will wait 5 seconds before attempting to connect

# and return result codes that distinguish between no carrier

# and no answer.  This makes it possible to avoid problems with

# repeatedly dialing a number that doesn't have a fax machine

# (kudos to Stuart Lynne for this trick.)

#

# NB: If you need to prefix phone numbers to get through a PBX,

#     put it in the ModemDialCmd; e.g. "DT9%s@".

#

#ModemDialCmd:             ATDT%s       # T for tone dialing

#

# Other possible configuration stuff.  The default strings are

# shown below.  Only those that are different from the defaults

Hylafax is running on the slackware machine. From my experiences comes the result, that the best solution is use only external modems. They are working fine. Internal PCI modem is able without problems receive mail, but send only one. External modem is fine for send and also for receive. I can change them and use internal for receive and external for send, but from my exprinces I know, that internal is less stable. Receiving mails is for me HIGH priority.

 

DO you have idea how to solve this problem? Why is modem after sending in the  Waiting for modem to come ready state?

 

Thank you,

 

Zdenek Vlach
