Re: [hylafax-users] Simulated receipt of FAX for testing purpose?

[John Hudak <john.j.hudak@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lee:
Thanks for the pointer.  A quick review of the almost non-existent 
documentation (their webpage at SourceForge does not appear to be 
there...) informs me that t38modem is a virtual modem...OK, kewl...So I 
install this, make two modems, associate them with COM 2 and COM4, 
associate COM2 with the modem that hylafax expects to see,  physically 
connect COM2 and COM4 with a null modem cable, bring up hyperterm and 
associate it with COM4.  Now, I can play the AT command game and send 
characters and signals from the sending program (hypertem) to the 
receiving program (the t38 modem associated with COM2 which hylafax also 
recognizes as /dev/ttyx0.   So far, is  this the right idea?

Now, how do I send 'the bits' of a fax from my hyperterm app? I 
basically need a fake 'fax transmision sequence'  complete with fax data 
to simulate an incoming fax.....duh?!?!?!
