Use Data/Voice button to tell vgetty to answer a fax call

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi! I've setup mgetty/vgetty 1.1.21 to control my Zyxel 1394E as a fax and
voice answering machine. It works very well except one problem.

The problem I have with the current setup is that, if a fax call comes in
and I pick up the call instead of vgetty, I would like to tell vgetty to
answer the call and then I just hang up my phone. 

According to the descriptions in the voice.conf file, it seems to me that
if I press the Data/Voice button on the zyxel, vgetty will answer the phone
as it has programmed.

So I did an experiement:

- pick up the phone to answer a fax call; press Data/Voice button and then
  hang up my phone.

The modem seems to handshake with the remote fax machine and then it drops
the line.


The following is the relevant log trace. Looks like the modem has indeed
handshake with the remote fax and it says "CONNECT" at the end of it.
However, vgetty is not expecting this (it says "waiting for RING found
action string: CONNECT) and just exit.

Is there anything I need to do to get vgetty answer the fax call when
the Data/Voice button is pressed?

Any advice is most welcomed.
