Figured out a simple cheat fix: I created a file /etc/systemd/system/faxgetty.service [Unit] Description=FaxGetty Start Modem ttyS0 After=getty.target [Service] Type=simple User=root Group=root Restart=always ExecStart=/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 TimeoutSec=0 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Then I setup a cron job at boot it runs systemctl start faxgetty.service Works perfect On 04/04/2012 04:08 PM, Brian K.

I can tell you I don't know when if ever I'll get around to adding systemd support. If someone else does it I'll probably include it, but still I'll probably never test it first hand so won't be able to ensure it actually works right. I DO use and test the package, but in sysv init systems. Also, such fax server systems often need proprietary 3rd party init scripts for special hardware for T1/isdn/t.38/serial hardware. These are universally sysv init scripts that have to work on solaris and hpux and unixware and open server and freebsd etc etc etc as well as linux. Often they are also long since abandoned and no longer updated by the manufacturers, or the manufacturers no longer even exist. The hardware still works and the serial and telephony standards haven't changed to make the hardware obsolete, and copies of the last official software support downloads exist and still work, but it's not legal for anyone to update them to systemd and repackage and redistribute them even if someone wanted to. You'd have to develop a download-and-modify script and distribute that for each individual thing.
Multiply that times 40 zillion other software and yet systemd pushers are not guilty of screwing things up....
