FreeBSD Start Guide

FreeBSD Hylafax quick install

/usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gnu-nox11

make install

/usr/ports/shells/bash ( Hylafx like bash ? )

make install

/usr/ports/comms/hylafax

make install

(It is better clean it up after install, so it is better be "make install clean".)

In FreeBsd, a easier way is using its package manager like "pkg_add" or "portmaster" It will automatically check and install all necessary ports.

pkg_add -r hylafax

next run hylafax setup:

/usr/local/sbin/faxsetup

run modem setup within faxsetup or run

(For serial port modem connection, it should start with cuadx, while "x" is 0 or other numbers.)

/usr/local/sbin/faxaddmodem  

You have installed and basic configured hylafax.
