I have been trying HylaFAX; I wanted to receive a single fax, and it seemed to me that this was the only program available to receive faxes. The procedure is to run "faxsetup", and answer a lot of questions; for manual answering "number of rings before answer" has to be set to 0. I had to install mgetty, and uncomment a line in /etc/inittab: #mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/modem Then, with the HylaFAX server running, when the phone rings entering the command "/usr/sbin/faxanswer modem" will trigger the receive. It is also possible to configure the thing to automatically answer only to certain numbers, but I didn't bother to go into that. So far, so good; the problem is that now I can not dial out to internet! According to the docs, I assumed I could; but the apparent reason I can't is because the permissions of the modem device were changed: crw------- 1 uucp uucp /dev/ttyS1 so that a normal user has no access. If I change it to "crw-rw----", as soon as I start wvdial it fails, because the permmisions are changed back automatically as shown above. Now, these permissions were initially set by the program "faxsetup". The problem is that running this script again only says that all is well, and changes nothing! It does not make any configure questions! And I'm unable to find any config file that has any thing to do with that. I had to edit again inittab and comment the "faxgetty" entry, so that the permmisions remain as they should. Anybody knows how HylaFAX can be reconfigured? It doesn't allow me to reconfigure. Must I remove the package, and reinstall - windows style (ugh!)? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
