I want both the fax program and the addressbook to be able to use the same
modem. There are two problems:
1) The fax program (Primafax) sends faxes like a champ. It doesn't receive
faxes at all. As I obesrved when trying to send my self a fax from a
public machine, my fax program picks up the line after several rings,
then does nothing -- no negotiation. The sending machine reports that the
receiving machine failed, but has nothing diagnostic to add; my receiving
machine makes no mention of the incident in its own log at all.
My fax program is set to send and receive on /dev/ttyS0. This are the
lines in relevant to that port:
*****
chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0
setserial /dev/ttyS0
*****
What might the problem be?
2) In the settings notebook for Kaddressbook there is a hook for a
telephone dialer, so that one can click on a telephone number in the
addressbook and expect it to be dialed. I have entered in the field for
that hook the following:
*****
jpilot-dial %N
*****
When I click on a telephone number, jpilot-dial emits a convincing series
of dialling tones, but nothing else happens. There is no flicker of LEDs
on the modem's front panel, and the state of the telephone line does not
change. The behavior is the same whether or not the fax program is
listening for an incoming fax, so this has nothing to do with conflict
between the two programs.
The jpilot-dial program has nothing in the way of settings about matching
the dialer with the port, so I have no idea if it even knows what port it
should be trying to reach.
How can I resolve this problem?
