Re: [hylafax-users] Modem gets wedged after receiving a fax

["Nacef L" <nacef.l@xxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately, I can't find any Agere Venus chipset based modem in
suppliers in my country. I want to know if there is a way to reset an
external serial modem from linux ? I saw that the wedged script can
reset a modem if it finds a script callet resetmodem in the etc
folder. Is it possible to do that with external Rockwell modems.

Cheers
