Yup... one of the problems with hylafax is trying to get it going... or keep it going. I get a lot of "Waiting for modem to come ready" messages when the modem is clearly ready.
I accounted for the port message: the hylafax daemon wasn't running.
Normally what I do in your case is to run faxsetup (for the nth) time which will check everything over and restart hylafax. But not guaranteed to fix your problem.
I made up the following cheat sheet which helps since I run hylafax so rarely: ============================================ Don't start hylafax first.
Make sure that /dev/modem--> ttyS? <--- your modem
sendfax -n -d 5774662 /home/pmfax/sal60429.ps <--- sendfax your file
Run faxsetup and it should take off.
faxstat and faxstat -s to query
And sudo -u <userid> faxrm <ID> to remove.
faxstat -d to show completed jobs.
I tried all that and still get the message. At some point I also got another message, which I can't retrieve now, indicating that there was something wrong with FIFO.modem. I suspect that's the root cause. Paul
