[hylafax-users] Fax Suddenly Not Initializing

[alex@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm running Hylafax 4.3.0 on Ubuntu (forget the name of the version, 
but the kernel is 2.6.12-10). It's been working nicely for about a year 
now in a send-only configuration.

Yesterday afternoon, I came home and the machine was powered off; I 
rebooted it and chalked it up to a power supply issue. Today, I tried 
to send a batch of faxes...and I can't get out of the "Waiting for 
modem to come ready" state.

Every post I've seen in the archives suggests that I need to run 
"faxmodem /dev/ttyS0" to get the modem (which is indeed at /dev/ttyS0) 
registered with Hylafax. That was the first thing I did, to no avail. I 
don't see anything of interest in my logs (/var/log/daemon.log, 
/var/log/messages, etc.).

The modem is an external USR Sportster 33.6K, with a software upgrade 
to 56K. Since it's worked nicely before now, it's clearly not that the 
modem won't work. Testing it out with "cu", I initially found that the 
modem wouldn't even dial outbound; after running "ATZ" (without 
actually realizing what I was doing), I can now get the modem to dial 
my cell phone successfully, but Hylafax is still not initializing.

Does anyone here have any clue what could be going on, or what I need 
to check?

Thanks,
Alex Kirk
