Good Mornig to All,

I need your expert advise in figuring out why I am not receiving any faxes. The system appears to be ready
but I don't know why it's not working. I have run faxsetup, and faxaddmodem. The system is running FC9 and hylafax-4.4.2-1
Can someone please help me get this thing going? Please see below.


Thanks in Advance,


Ramon

Ramon;


You were concerned about faxgetty not appearing to run. I am wondering if that might be a clue. I did some tweaking today and my system became unusable - with hundreds, maybe thousands, of instances of faxgetty running and nothing working. As mentioned previously, I have nothing in my /etc/inittab (like S0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0).

On reviewing http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Binary_Package_Install, I noted that it prescribed a /etc/event.d/ttyS0 file for my system (Ubuntu 8.04). So, I added it and presto, problems. Deleted the file, restarted everything and operations returned to normal.

With the event.d file in place, HylaFAX could not even find the port never mind the modem. Incoming on my fax number went unanswered. Outgoing failed, of course, but did not trigger an e-mail to me.

minicom indicated my modem was happy throughout.

Regards,
