US Robotics 33.6 FAX Modem with MGETTY

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

 I have a slight problem with mgetty using sendfax on mgetty ... I am
 trying to send a two-page fax using a STOCK installation (and
 "-DFAX_USRobotics" in the makefile) and *still* I don't get any success.
 Can someone please steer me in the right direction?

 [root@nimue faxserver]# faxrunq
 processing F000013/JOB...
 /usr/sbin/sendfax -v 713-627-2744 f1.g3 f2.g3 
 Trying fax device '/dev/cua0'... OK.
 Dialing 713-627-2744... OK.
 sending 'f1.g3'...

 /usr/sbin/sendfax: FAILED to transmit 'f1.g3'.
 Transmission error: +FHNG:-5 (Unexpected hangup / read() error / write()
 error (int.))

Do *NOT* use /dev/cua0, use /dev/ttyS0 instead. This is stated in the
manual. If you use cua, the locking mechanism is thwarted, and mgetty
has no way to know that sendfax has the line open, so mgetty hangs up
the phone in the middle of the transmission.
