Re: [hylafax-users] how is vgetty implemented these days?

You must be right but I'm all so confused about the locking issues and
if I can use the vgetty that comes with mgetty without any patches.
Also do I need to patch hylafax-5.1.3 with your locking patch to
integrate with VM, or should I just use vgetty?

I'd like to check out George Bell's work but I can't find a mirror.

I have a dreaded TOPIC 560. I can't get it do destinctive ring even
through there is reference to DRON and DROFF in some windows INF
files. I've got new firmware too that's newer than the lightspeed
upgrade - version 3.0

The device is a class modem but it supports the +FAA command in all
fax class modes. When I call voice to it, it detects it as a FAX, so
it probably can only determine between fax and data in +FCLASS=0.

Does hylafax support answering calls in Voice mode by looking for "R."
as the ring singnal. IT may be able to answer and then detect a letter
that is printing for fax calling tone. Actually it can still print
ring's that "R." only happens if you enable distinctive ring. I think
the modem expects us to measure the time in milliseconds between the
"." and the "R".

But in voice mode as well as detecting DTMF it can detect a FAX tone.
Would it be better to get vgetty to answer the modem in voice mode and
when it detects a fax let hylafax pick it up?

Right now I'm screwed. I need to either get distinctive ring working
with my modem, or work out on how to make it pickup in voice and not
blast the caller with a fax tone unless it hears one in the first
instance.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Luke
