That's good, because I don't know how to use a command line. ;-)
but backgrounded as a daemon process.
I am guessing that means point and click, hopefully.
The server processs, if correctly installed and configured, should actually be started automatically when you boot up your system.
I'm pretty sure that it is installed correctly, because YAST 2 is pretty good at installing stuff. So I must have a configuration problem. I know that I tried to run the faxsetup program from the script line, and here's what happened: linux:/ # /usr/sbin/faxsetup [ -client ] [ -server ] [ -with-VAR[=value] ] configure: VAR[: invalid parameter name. linux:/ # cd /usr linux:/usr # cd sbin linux:/usr/sbin # /usr/sbin/faxsetup [ -client ] [ -server ] [ -with-VAR[=value] ] configure: VAR[: invalid parameter name. linux:/usr/sbin # faxsetup [ -client ] [ -server ] [ -with-VAR[=value] ] configure: VAR[: invalid parameter name. I am guessing that I need to actually identify the [ -client ] and the [ -server ]. Do you have any tips on how to do that?
And no, sorry, there is no point and click with HylaFax.
Nuts. ;-)
Do you plan to use the same modem for Internet dialup access and fax sending/receiving?
Yes.
If so, you won't be able to send or receive fax while connected to the Internet. Just wanted to point this out.
Thank you. It never hurts to point out the obvious with me. ;-)
The first step actually is not to start the HylaFax process, but to set it up correctly. On the website there is a very detailed description of the setup process, which, I admit, may seem daunting at first.
You bet!
Read it thoroughly though, even twice, and try to follow the installation and setup steps.
I did, and that yielded the results above.
This is where to start: http://www.hylafax.org/setup.html
Thanks for that link. It is where I got the instructions that led me to do the stuff above. I would love to hear any other tips you have. Thanks for your help so far! Christian
