Q.
Do I have to restart a server after changing the modem config file?

On another note does one have to restart ther servers in order for changes in the modem configuration file to take effect?

A.
No. The HylaFAX servers will re-read a config file (if needed) before each send and on any reset. This means you only need to explicitly restart a server if you change it before doing a receive. You can also avoid restarting it if you use cu/tip to talk to the modem since this will cause the server to wakeup and then reset itself when you exit from cu/tip.
