Re: [hylafax-users] Newbie setup help: Debian/Ubuntu

[Ben Keene <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Giuseepe and Lee:

Thank you both very much for the suggestions.  I ended up creating yet 
another clean install of ubuntu and installing the hylafax-server and 
hylafax-client packages.

After running faxaddmodem, installing a new physical modem (apparently 
my PCI modem wasn't up to snuff), and rebooting several times to get the 
changes to take (I haven't figured out how to alert the hylafax software 
that it needs to reread it's configuration) it worked!

I'm not sure which version of hylafax the ubuntu distro has, but I had 
to use the old syntax for the caller ID information. CIDName and CIDNumber.

Now I just need to putter around with scripts for handling the fax once 
it arrives.

Thank you all for your help!

Sincerely,
Ben
