Re: [hylafax-users] troubleshooting IAXmodem and hylafax

["Rob Rothberg" <rrothberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nevermind, problem solved.  I had set a runlevel of 1 on each iaxmodem and faxgetty line in inittab.  Novice error (and since I'm a novice I don't feel so bad :)).

No idea why ttyIAX5 is not shown as started (but is seen in the modem config module of the HylaFAX webmin).  I realize the owner section in the IAXmodem config file above points to uucp
rather than asterisk, but it's the same on ttyIAX2, 3 and 4 and works fine (I just noticed it and will change it but that doesn't appear to be the issue).

I've had hylafax running with one IAXmodem connection to my asterisk box.  Today I added three more modems following walkthrus on a couple of different sites. 

faxstat shows:
Modem ttyIAX3 (): Running and idle
Modem ttyIAX4 (): Running and idle
Modem ttyIAX2 (): Running and idle

It shows nothing about my ttyIAX1.  If I check the ttyIAX1 log, it shows it's registered.  A config file for this modem exists in the /var/spool/hylafax/etc/ directory.  I discovered that ttyIAX1 was owned by root, so changed I that and even rebooted but I'm still having the same problem

Note that in the Webmin Hylafax UI, the modems screen shows ttyIAX1.  I alsoI just tried adding ttyIAX5, that shows up also in the modem screen.  # of outgoing hylafax lines is set to 4.
