5 Hylafax

Before starting:

• Be sure all the serial ports are configured (See: 15)
• Check the modem(s). If you cannot talk to a modem with a terminal program like minicom then hylafax cannot talk to it either.

1. Install hylafax
   $ ./configure  
   $ make  
   $ sudo make install
2. For each modem use a terminal program to get the supported fax classes. Use class 1 or 1.0 if possible.  
   at+fclass=? 
   0,1,2.0
3. Run faxsetup and follow the prompts. Except for obvious things like Area Code, phone number, and Local Indentifier, the defaults are OK. If the modem is used for sending only, set ``Rings to wait before answering'' to 0.
   $ sudo faxsetup
4. Add each modem to /etc/inittab 
   m1:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1 
   m2:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS2
5. Force Linux to reread the inittab
   $ sudo init q

5.1 Recieving Faxes

Create or edit the file /var/spool/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch. For example:

case "$DEVICE" in  
   ttyS0)  
     SENDTO=inbound-385-4994@totalflood.com  
   ;;  
   ttyS1) 
     SENDTO=admin_sales@totalflood.com 
   ;; 
   ttyS4)  
     SENDTO=inboundfaxes@totalflood.com  
   ;;  
   ttyS5)  
     SENDTO=inboundfaxes@totalflood.com  
   ;;  
   *)  
     SENDTO=FaxMaster@totalflood.com  
   ;;  
esac

5.2 Adding Modem

Be certain you can talk to the modem using minicom or some other terminal emulator.

Run faxaddmodem
$ sudo faxaddmodem ttyM1c
