[hylafax-users] Faxgetty don't pick up on incoming call, Ubuntu 9.10, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem

[Nicholas Grönlund <hylafax-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

I'm new to HylaFax and this list.

I'm having my old laptop computer (IBM R40) with a built in fax modem (Intel 82801DB-ICH4) running Ubuntu Server 9.10 ("Karmic Koala") with all the latest updates. I have installed HylaFax through aptitude, as well as smart link daemon (I believe it is called) and activated the kernel module snd_intel8x0m.

The problem: if I call the number associated with my fax modem nothing happens, not even in the syslog. The phones on the same line just keep ringing (shared line). I can make it answer the call however, using

"faxanswer /dev/ttySL0"

then I can hear that familiar beep and noise in the calling end. I believe it is faxgetty that is responsible for answering the calls, and it runs on starting HylaFax with

"/etc/init.d/hylafax start"

Then running

"ps aux | grep faxgetty"

I see this line:

"/usr/sbin/faxgetty -D ttySL0"

At the same time, using "faxstat" I see this:

"HylaFAX scheduler on gronlundsrv: Running
Modem ttySL0 (+46xxxxxxx): Running and idle"

What I want when everything works is that it should answer the call after N rings (or after a specified interval if possible), receive the fax, make it into a PDF, and mail it to a shared mailbox.

I hope that someone can shed some light on this, I'll be happy to provide more information as necessary - I don't know really what to provide other than what I have given already.


Cheers,
Nicholas =)
