Re: [hylafax-users] hylafax receive pickup mandriva 2007



Shay,

It's not going to work unless you pay for the driver. Unless Mandrivia
has done some cross licensing deal with www.linuxant.com the fax
capabilities in the driver will be DISABLED.

Conextent (rockwell) only gave away their specs to their modem
firmwares to a company that would sign an NDA. If the modem only
connects at 14.4k for data max speed you'll know that its an
unlicensed version. Go to the linuxant website to purchase a driver.
Note that the driver will be locked to a registration ID generated by
your motherboard/cpu combination.

Run the diagnostic program that comes with the modem driver. If you
can confirm that it's licensed let us know and you'll get some
support.

I've bought two licenses already from them but upgraded my hardware.
It's a joke. Intel 536ep's are good but they don't work for us 64 bit
people. Lucent is the best internal modems, otherwise go something
external. I got a usb one but it is really serial (has a serial bridge
chip inside it)

Cheers,

Luke

You may not be running faxgetty or have RingsBeforeAnswer configured as
you may want.

I would suggest reading here:

http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/index.php

And then see where you get.

Lee.
