Hello Guido, here are further steps that I needed to do, after you have looked after my other instructions. I am now faxing with SuSEFax/HylaFAx using a LinkSys 10/100 +56k combo PCMCIA card, with the modem class set to Class 1 from my Winbook XL laptop with SuSE 6.2 (Linux) installed. Thought I would post the changes here in case anyone else using SuSE experience similar problems. After SuSE 6.2 install, I had to make three changes: 1) Change ModemClass: "any" to ModemClass: "any:.*" in the file /var/spool/fax/etc/config The SuSE manual on page 183 incorrectly told me to input "any" 2) Add fx:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1 In /etc/inittab, After changing the inittab, it was necessary to get Linux to see the change. Went to my root directory with the command cd / then typed telinit q to get Linus to reread the /etc/inittab file Your system may use the command telinit -q or init q Rebooting will work to. Note: that I did not set my device to /dev/modem but to /dev/ttyS1 to avoid lock file problems. Also, after adding this fx... line in inittab, my ppp connection to the internet would not work using /dev/modem once I got faxgetty running with the above command. I use kppp, and simply set my modem to /dev/ttyS1 since my modem is hooked up to Serial Port 1 which is COM 2 by the way. If you don't use SuSE, than make sure that the path to faxgetty is correct. It may reside in another directory for you. Note: In case your a Newbie like me, mingetty is not a faxprogram. Thus the need for the faxgetty command line. I sat there and stared at the mingetty commands wondering why they were not working, sending my faxes. 3) Uncomment the ModemDialCmd line in my /var/spool/fax/etc/config.ttyS1 file and change ATDT%s@ to ATDP%s@ since rotary/analog dialing is necessary in Moscow, Russia. ModemDialCmd: ATDP%s@ # T for tone dialing, @ for silence Note: your file may be config.modem or config.ttyS2 etc depending on which device you have your modem set to. If you still can't fax, continue reading the help documents, and cry for help on the HylaFax thread found at www.hylafax.org like I did. I don't know why SuSE did not do this stuff for me automatically. Or for that matter put the faxgetty command in for me automatically. Oh well.
