[hylafax-users] problem sending faxes

["Just Me" <q1001001@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am running hylafax on an embeded x86 platform and so I don't
have a root file system from any standard distribution.  I do think I've
gotten all the components needed, but somehow I'm still having problems.
I am able to receive faxes no problem.

When I try and send a fax, I use:

sendfax -n -d 322 /root/fax.tif

I've increased the tracing and so this output is generated in /var/log/messages:

One problem I see immediately is that in the bin/tiff2fax command that is generated, there is a ;00 in the middle.  This
causes the command to fail if I try to run it manually from the /var/spool/hylafax directory.  It works just fine if I take it out.

Regarding the first error about line 63, I'm not sure what is wrong since I don't understand the queue request file format, but I did notice that when I compare the queue request file generated to the one I get off a ubuntu machine that works, the ubuntu machine has a exclamation point before the tiff: directive.

Here is a copy of my queue request file:   Any help would be greatly appreciated.    - Mike Quicquaro
