Hi George,

 

I'm just coming out of this bull shit.

I had Hylafax working for a year and someday at system boot after loosing the bus mouse of the server the hardware manager sait he detect  a new stock and I said ok install it. For this moment Hylafax began to do the same as your's trying continously to initialise the server.

 

My problem was in fact that the hardware installer put my bus mouse to the device ttyS0 adress so this port was used by a concurrent user that's why Hylafax was not able to initialise. I solve it by rebuilding config.ttyS0 on ttyS1

 

To solution your problem

 

A) chek in /var/spool/hylafax/etc/ if the file config.ttyS0 is there; remove it and re-create it using 

     faxaddmodem; if not you just have to create it.

 

B) if it's persisting, create the file as config.ttyS1 and do not change your physical connection  in back

    of the computer.
