[hylafax-users] sending problems...

["Grant Basson" <g.d.basson@xxxxxxxxx>]

greetings all,

i'm having a bit of trouble sending a fax using sendfax, i'm running
fedora core 6, hylafax 4.3.1, i'm using a duxbury v.92 56k External
fax modem, the problem is as such, i type the command:

[root@localhost etc]# sendfax -d "xxxxxxxxxx" /root/Desktop/cool.tif

and get:

TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /root/Desktop/cool.tif: unknown field with
tag 32934 (0x80a6) encountered.
request id is 11 (group id 11) for host localhost (1 file)

the modem dials, gets answered, but i get "reception error" from our
doze server, (the one i'm trying to send to) trying to replace it with
hylafax :P

i had a look around the mailing list, seems another guy from south
Africa had a problem with duxbury modems, but i don't quite see if
suggestions worked, all i did from there was increace the session
tracing, the log file looks like such:

*start log*

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

# 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.)
